x86/fpu: Avoid copying dynamic FP state from init_task in arch_dup_task_struct()

The init_task instance of struct task_struct is statically allocated and
may not contain the full FP state for userspace. As such, limit the copy
to the valid area of both init_task and 'dst' and ensure all memory is
initialized.

Note that the FP state is only needed for userspace, and as such it is
entirely reasonable for init_task to not contain parts of it.

v2:
- Fix code if arch_task_struct_size < sizeof(init_task) by using
  memcpy_and_pad.
