Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Better document fpu__clear() state handling

So prior to this fix:

  c88d47480d30 ("x86/fpu: Always restore_xinit_state() when use_eager_cpu()")

we leaked FPU state across execve() boundaries on eagerfpu systems:

	$ /host/home/mingo/dump-xmm-regs-exec
	# XMM state before execve():
	XMM0 : 000000000000dede
	XMM1 : 000000000000dedf
	XMM2 : 000000000000dee0
	XMM3 : 000000000000dee1
	XMM4 : 000000000000dee2
	XMM5 : 000000000000dee3
	XMM6 : 000000000000dee4
	XMM7 : 000000000000dee5
	XMM8 : 000000000000dee6
	XMM9 : 000000000000dee7
	XMM10: 000000000000dee8
	XMM11: 000000000000dee9
	XMM12: 000000000000deea
	XMM13: 000000000000deeb
	XMM14: 000000000000deec
	XMM15: 000000000000deed

	# XMM state after execve(), in the new task context:
	XMM0 : 0000000000000000
	XMM1 : 2f2f2f2f2f2f2f2f
	XMM2 : 0000000000000000
	XMM3 : 0000000000000000
	XMM4 : 00000000000000ff
	XMM5 : 00000000ff000000
	XMM6 : 000000000000dee4
	XMM7 : 000000000000dee5
	XMM8 : 0000000000000000
	XMM9 : 0000000000000000
	XMM10: 0000000000000000
	XMM11: 0000000000000000
	XMM12: 0000000000000000
	XMM13: 000000000000deeb
	XMM14: 000000000000deec
	XMM15: 000000000000deed

Better explain what this function is supposed to do and why.
