The `initialized' member of the fpu struct is always set to one user
tasks and zero for kernel tasks. This avoids saving/restoring the FPU
registers for kernel threads.
By dropping that member the context switch time between kernel-threads
increases because the FPU registers are needlessly stored and restored.
The following context switch
1. TaskA -> kernel thread1
2. kernel thread1 -> TaskA
will restore TaskA's FPU registers in step 2. This wasn't the case
earlier because they would not have been destroyed by the kernel thread.
This means now fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx points always to current's FPU
struct (even for kernel threads).
One different behaviour: Since the FPU registers are now restored for
kernel threads, they will have PKRU=0. Before this change, the kernel
thread had a random value (inherited from the previous user task).
The increased context switch time will be reverted once the FPU
registers are restored on return to userland.
