x86/fpu: Provide infrastructure for KVM FPU cleanup

For the upcoming AMX support it's necessary to do a proper integration with
KVM. Currently KVM allocates two FPU structs which are used for saving the user
state of the vCPU thread and restoring the guest state when entering
vcpu_run() and doing the reverse operation before leaving vcpu_run().

With the new fpstate mechanism this can be reduced to one extra buffer by
swapping the fpstate pointer in current::thread::fpu. This makes the
upcoming support for AMX and XFD simpler because then fpstate information
(features, sizes, xfd) are always consistent and it does not require any
nasty workarounds.

Provide:

  - An allocator which initializes the state properly

  - A replacement for the existing FPU swap mechanim

Aside of the reduced memory footprint, this also makes state switching
more efficient when TIF_FPU_NEED_LOAD is set. It does not require a
memcpy as the state is already correct in the to be swapped out fpstate.

The existing interfaces will be removed once KVM is converted over.
