x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in flush_thread()

flush_thread() -> drop_init_fpu() is suboptimal and confusing. It does
drop_fpu() or restore_init_xstate() depending on !use_eager_fpu(). But
flush_thread() too checks eagerfpu right after that, and if it is true
then restore_init_xstate() just burns CPU for no reason. We are going to
load init_xstate_buf again after we set used_math()/user_has_fpu(), until
then the FPU state can't survive after switch_to().

Remove it, and change the "if (!use_eager_fpu())" to call drop_fpu().
While at it, clean up the tsk/current usage.
