Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] x86, fpu: fix math_state_restore() race with
	kernel_fpu_begin()

math_state_restore() can race with kernel_fpu_begin() if irq comes
right after __thread_fpu_begin(), __save_init_fpu() will overwrite
fpu->state we are going to restore.

Add 2 simple helpers, kernel_fpu_disable() and kernel_fpu_enable()
which simply set/clear in_kernel_fpu, and change math_state_restore()
to exclude kernel_fpu_begin() in between.

Perhaps we should export in_kernel_fpu and make these helpers inline.
Probably they will have more users.
