Afaics there is no reason why kernel threads should have FPU context
even if use_eager_fpu() == T. Now that interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle()
does not check __thread_has_fpu() we can remove the init_fpu() code
from eager_fpu_init() and change flush_thread() called by do_execve()
to initialize FPU.
Note: of course, the change in flush_thread() is horrible and must be
cleanuped. We need the new helper, and flush_thread() should return the
error if init_fpu() fails.
