Ben Gras 2f892aca91 kernel fpu context switching: fix race condition
There seems to have been a broken assumption in the fpu context
restoring code.  It restores the context of the running process, without
guarantee that the current process is the one that will be scheduled.
This caused fpu saving for a different process to be triggered without
fpu hardware being enabled, causing an fpu exception in the kernel. This
practically only shows up with DEBUG_RACE on. Fix my thruby+me.

The fix
 . is to only set the fpu-in-use-by-this-process flag in the
   exception handler, and then take care of fpu restoring when
   actually returning to userspace

And the patch
 . translates fpu saving and restoring to c in arch_system.c,
   getting rid of a juicy chunk of assembly
 . makes osfxsr_feature private to arch_system.c
 . removes most of the arch dependent code from do_sigsend
