Subject: [patch 10/10] x86/fpu/signal: Change return code of
 restore_fpregs_from_user() to boolean

__fpu_sig_restore() only needs information about success or fail and no
real error code.

This cleans up the confusing conversion from the negated trap number which
is returned by the *RSTOR() exception fixups to an error code.
