x86/fpu: Unify the naming of the FPU register cache validity flags

Rik pointed out that the fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx and the ->fpregs_cached
flags are still described in a confusing way.

Clarify this some more by renaming them to:

        ->fpregs_cached         =>     ->fpregs_owner        [bool]
        fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx    =>       fpregs_owner_ctx    [ptr]

... which better expresses that they are a cache validity flag
split into two parts, where the cache can be invalidated if any
of the flags is cleared.

Also describe this relationship more accurately in the fpu/types.h header.

No change in functionality.
