x86/fpu: Introduce restore_init_xstate()



Extract the "use_eager_fpu()" code from drop_init_fpu() into a new,
simple helper restore_init_xstate(). The next patch adds another user.

- It is not clear why we do not check use_fxsr() like fpu_restore_checking()
  does. eager_fpu_init_bp() calls setup_init_fpu_buf() too, and we have the
  "eagerfpu=on" kernel option.

- Ignoring the fact that init_xstate_buf is "struct xsave_struct *", not
  "union thread_xstate *", it is not clear why we can not simply use
  fpu_restore_checking() and avoid the code duplication.

- It is not clear why we can't call setup_init_fpu_buf() unconditionally
  to always create init_xstate_buf(). Then do_device_not_available() path
  (at least) could use restore_init_xstate() too. It doesn't need to init
  fpu->state, its content doesn't matter until unlazy_fpu()/__switch_to()/etc
  which overwrites this memory anyway.
