[PATCH 09/23] x86/fpu: Remove user_fpu_begin()

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

user_fpu_begin() sets fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx to task's fpu struct. This is
always the case since there is no lazy FPU anymore.
fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx is used during context switch to decide if it needs
to load the saved registers or if the currently loaded registers are
valid. This field is always updated on context switch so setting it
manually has no benefit.
Before the removal of the ->initialized member, fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx
wouldn't be updated for kernel threads. But kernel threads don't use the
fpu struct so again, user_fpu_begin() would not make a difference in
user context (and would be wrong in kernel context).

Remove user_fpu_begin(), it does not change fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx's
content.
