x86/fpu: Fix eager-FPU handling on legacy FPU machines

i486 derived cores like Intel Quark support only the very old,
legacy x87 FPU (FSAVE/FRSTOR, CPUID bit FXSR is not set), and
our FPU code wasn't handling the saving and restoring there
properly in the 'eagerfpu' case.

So after we made eagerfpu the default for all CPU types:

  58122bf1d856 x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs

these old FPU designs broke. First, Andy Shevchenko reported a splat:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 823 at arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h:163 fpu__clear+0x8c/0x160

which was us trying to execute FXRSTOR on those machines even though
they don't support it.

After taking care of that, Bryan O'Donoghue reported that a simple FPU
test still failed because we weren't initializing the FPU state properly
on those machines.

Take care of all that.
