x86/fpu: Reset permission and fpstate on exec()



On exec(), extended register states saved in the buffer is cleared. With
dynamic features, each task carries variables besides the register states.
The struct fpu has permission information and struct fpstate contains
buffer size and feature masks. They are all dynamically updated with
dynamic features.

Reset the current task's entire FPU data before an exec() so that the new
task starts with default permission and fpstate.

Rename the register state reset function because the old naming confuses as
it does not reset struct fpstate.
