Subject: [PATCH 143/208] x86/fpu: Simplify __save_fpu()

__save_fpu() has this pattern:

		if (unlikely(system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING))
			xsave_state_booting(&fpu->state.xsave);
		else
			xsave_state(&fpu->state.xsave);

... but it does not actually get called during system bootup.

So remove the complication and always call xsave_state().

To make sure this assumption is correct, add a WARN_ONCE()
debug check to xsave_state().
