x86/fpu: Clean up FPU switching in the middle of task switching

It happens to work, but it's very very wrong, because our 'current'
macro is magic that is supposedly loading a stable value.

It just happens to be not quite stable enough and the compilers
re-load the value enough for this code to work.  But it's wrong.

The whole

        struct fpu *prev_fpu = &prev->fpu;

thing in __switch_to() is pretty ugly. There's no reason why we
should look at that 'prev_fpu' pointer there, or pass it down.

And it only generates worse code, in how it loads 'current' when
__switch_to() has the right task pointers.

The attached patch not only cleans this up, it actually
generates better code too:

 (a) it removes one push/pop pair at entry/exit because there's one
     less register used (no 'current')

 (b) it removes that pointless load of 'current' because it just uses
     the right argument:

	-       movq    %gs:pcpu_hot(%rip), %r12
	-       testq   $16384, (%r12)
	+       testq   $16384, (%rdi)
