x86/fpu: Simplify and speed up fpu__copy()
fpu__copy() has a preempt_disable()/enable() pair, which it had to do to
be able to atomically unlazy the current task when doing an FNSAVE.
But we don't unlazy tasks anymore, we always do direct saves/restores of
FPU context.
So remove both the unnecessary critical section, and update the comments.
