x86/fpu: Turn WARN_ON() in context switch into WARN_ON_FPU()

copy_xregs_to_kernel checks if the alternatives have been already
patched.

This WARN_ON() is always executed in every context switch.

All the other checks in fpu internal.h are WARN_ON_FPU(), but
this one is plain WARN_ON(). I assume it was forgotten to switch it.

So switch it to WARN_ON_FPU() too to avoid some unnecessary code
in the context switch, and a potentially expensive cache line miss for the
global variable.
