x86, fpu: split FPU state from task struct - v5

Split the FPU save area from the task struct. This allows easy migration
of FPU context, and it's generally cleaner. It also allows the following
two optimizations:

1) only allocate when the application actually uses FPU, so in the first
lazy FPU trap. This could save memory for non-fpu using apps. Next patch
does this lazy allocation.

2) allocate the right size for the actual cpu rather than 512 bytes always.
Patches enabling xsave/xrstor support (coming shortly) will take advantage
of this.
