x86/fpu: Restore regs in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() in order to use the fastpath

If a task is scheduled out and receives a signal then it won't be
able to take the fastpath because the registers aren't available. The
slowpath is more expensive compared to XRSTOR + XSAVE which usually
succeeds.

Here are some clock_gettime() numbers from a bigger box with AVX512
during bootup:

- __fpregs_load_activate() takes 140ns - 350ns. If it was the most recent
  FPU context on the CPU then the optimisation in __fpregs_load_activate()
  will skip the load (which was disabled during the test).

- copy_fpregs_to_sigframe() takes 200ns - 450ns if it succeeds. On a
  pagefault it is 1.8us - 3us usually in the 2.6us area.

- The slowpath takes 1.5us - 6us. Usually in the 2.6us area.

My testcases (including lat_sig) take the fastpath without
__fpregs_load_activate(). I expect this to be the majority.

Since the slowpath is in the >1us area it makes sense to load the
registers and attempt to save them directly. The direct save may fail
but should only happen on the first invocation or after fork() while the
page is read-only.
