x86: split out core __math_state_restore
Split the core fpu state restoration out into __math_state_restore, which assumes that cr0.TS is clear and that the fpu context has been initialized. This will be used during context switch. There are two reasons this is desireable: - There's a small clarification. When __switch_to() calls math_state_restore, it relies on the fact that tsk_used_math() returns true, and so will never do a blocking init_fpu(). __math_state_restore() does not have (or need) that logic, so the question never arises. - It allows the clts() to be moved earler in __switch_to() so it can be performed while cpu context updates are batched (will be done in a later patch).
