The FPU state, as represented by the CIF_FPU flag reflects the FPU state of a task, not the CPU it is running on. Therefore convert the flag to a regular TIF flag. This removes the magic in switch_to() where a save_fpu_regs() call for the currently (previous) running task sets the per-cpu CIF_FPU flag, which is required to restore FPU register contents of the next task, when it returns to user space.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
