[PATCH 1/3] x86, fpu: Do not copy fpu preload state

[Mel Gorman]

__switch_to declares a fpu_switch_t on the stack then calls a prepare
function which declares a second one on the stack and copies the result
back. As the functions are inline the compiler will optimise it correctly
but it looks weird. This patch makes it clear that a single instance of
fpu_switch_t is used.
