x86/fpu: Fix fpu__activate_fpstate_read() and update comments

fpu__activate_fpstate_read() can be called for the current task
when coredumping - or for stopped tasks when ptrace-ing.

Implement this properly in the code and update the comments.

This also fixes an incorrect (but harmless) warning introduced by
one of the earlier patches.
