x86/fpu: Add a fastpath to copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()

Try to save the FPU registers directly to the userland stack frame if
the CPU holds the FPU registers for the current task. This has to be
done with the pagefault disabled because we can't fault (while the FPU
registers are locked) and therefore the operation might fail. If it
fails try the slowpath which can handle faults.
