Subject: [PATCH 142/208] x86/fpu: Factor out FPU hw activation/deactivation

We have repeat patterns of:

	if (!use_eager_fpu())
		clts();

... to activate FPU registers, and:

	if (!use_eager_fpu())
		stts();

... to deactivate them.

Encapsulate these in:

	__fpregs_activate_hw();
	__fpregs_activate_hw();

and use them accordingly.

Doing this synchronizes the idiom with the fpu->fpregs_active
software-flag's handling functions, creating clear patterns of:

	__fpregs_activate_hw();
	__fpregs_activate(fpu);

etc., which improves readability.
