x86/fpu: Clarify ancient comments in fpu__restore()
So this function still had ancient language about 'saving current
math information' - but we haven't been doing lazy FPU saves for
quite some time, we are doing lazy FPU restores.
Also remove IRQ13 related comment, which we don't support anymore
either.
