Subject: [PATCH 24/27] x86/fpu: Add a fastpath to __fpu__restore_sig()

The previous commits refactor the restoration of the FPU registers so
that they can be loaded from in-kernel memory. This overhead can be
avoided if the load can be performed without a pagefault.

Attempt to restore FPU registers by invoking
copy_user_to_fpregs_zeroing(). If it fails try the slowpath which can handle
pagefaults.
