[PATCH 6/9] x86/fpu: Make sure x86_task_fpu() doesn't get called for PF_KTHREAD tasks during exit

[Ingo Molnar]

fpu__drop() calls x86_task_fpu() unconditionally, while the FPU context
area will not be present if it's the init task, and should not be in
use when it's some other type of kthread.

Return early for PF_KTHREAD tasks. The debug warning in x86_task_fpu()
will catch any kthreads attempting to use the FPU save area.
