x86/fpu: Fix i486 + no387 boot crash by only saving FPU registers on context 
switch if there is an FPU

Booting an i486 with "no387 nofxsr" ends with with the following crash:

   math_emulate: 0060:c101987d
   Kernel panic - not syncing: Math emulation needed in kernel

on the first context switch in user land.

The reason is that copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() tries FNSAVE which does not work
as the FPU is turned off.

This bug was introduced in:

  f1c8cd0176078 ("x86/fpu: Change fpu->fpregs_active users to 
fpu->fpstate_active")

Add a check for X86_FEATURE_FPU before trying to save FPU registers (we
have such a check in switch_fpu_finish() already).
