Subject: [PATCH 05/22] x86/fpu: Remove fpu->initialized usage in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()

Since ->initialized is always true for user tasks and kernel threads
don't get this far, we always save the registers directly to userspace.

Remove check for ->initialized because it is always true and remove the
false condition.
