x86/fpu: Better document fpu__clear() state handling
So prior to this fix: c88d4748 ("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.
