Subject: [PATCH 122/208] x86/fpu: Make check_fpu() init ordering independent

check_fpu() currently relies on being called early in the init sequence,
when CR0::TS has not been set up yet.

Save/restore CR0::TS across this function, to make it invariant to
init ordering. This way we'll be able to move the generic FPU setup
routines earlier in the init sequence.
