Now that we have in_kernel_fpu we can remove __thread_clear_has_fpu()
in __kernel_fpu_begin(). And this allow to replace the asymmetrical
and nontrivial use_eager_fpu+tsk_used_math check in kernel_fpu_end()
with the same __thread_has_fpu().
The logic becomes really simple afaics: if _begin() does save() then
_end() needs restore(), and this is controlled by __thread_has_fpu().
Also, with this patch __kernel_fpu_end() does restore_fpu_checking()
and WARNs if it fails instead of math_state_restore(). I think this
looks better because we no longer need __thread_fpu_begin(), and it
would be better to report the failure in this case.
