KVM modifies the kernel fpu's regs pointer to its own area to implement its custom version of preemtible kernel fpu context. With general support for preemptible kernel fpu context there is no need for the extra complexity in KVM code anymore. Therefore convert KVM to a regular kernel fpu user. In particular this means that all TIF_FPU checks can be removed, since the fpu register context will never be changed by other kernel fpu users, and also the fpu register context will be restored if a thread is preempted.

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.
