x86/fpu: Make the EFI FPU calling convention explicit

EFI uses kernel_fpu_begin() to conform to the UEFI calling convention.
This specifically requires initializing FCW (FPU Control Word), whereas
no sane 64-bit kernel code should use legacy 387 operations that
reference FCW.

This should allow to safely change the default semantics of
kernel_fpu_begin() to stop initializing FCW on 64-bit kernels.

 [ bp: Massage commit message a little. ]
