x86/fpu: Factor out memset(xstate, 0) in fpu_finit() paths

fx_finit() has two users but only fpu_finit() needs to clear
xstate, alloc_bootmem_align() in setup_init_fpu_buf() returns
zero-filled memory.

And note that both memset()'s look confusing. Yes, offsetof() is
0 for ->fxsave or ->fsave, but it would be cleaner to turn
them into a single memset() which zeroes fpu->state.
