s390/fpu: improve kernel_fpu_[begin|end]
In case of nested user of the FPU or vector registers in the kernel
the current code uses the mask of the FPU/vector registers of the
previous contexts to decide which registers to save and restore.
E.g. if the previous context used KERNEL_VXR_V0V7 and the next
context wants to use KERNEL_VXR_V24V31 the first 8 vector registers
are stored to the FPU state structure. But this is not necessary
as the next context does not use these registers.
Rework the FPU/vector register save and restore code. The new code
does a few things differently:
1) A lowcore field is used instead of a per-cpu variable.
2) The kernel_fpu_end function now has two parameters just like
kernel_fpu_begin. The register flags are required by both
functions to save / restore the minimal register set.
3) The inline functions kernel_fpu_begin/kernel_fpu_end now do the
update of the register masks. If the user space FPU registers
have already been stored neither save_fpu_regs nor the
__kernel_fpu_begin/__kernel_fpu_end functions have to be called
for the first context. In this case kernel_fpu_begin adds 7
instructions and kernel_fpu_end adds 4 instructions.
3) The inline assemblies in __kernel_fpu_begin / __kernel_fpu_end
to save / restore the vector registers are simplified a bit.
