Subject: [PATCH 06/14] x86/fpu: Clean up the parameter definitions of copy_xstate_to_*()

Remove pointless 'const' of non-pointer input parameter.

Remove unnecessary parenthesis that shows uncertainty about arithmetic operator precedence.

Clarify copy_xstate_to_user() description.

No change in functionality.
