Currently the FPSIMD handling code uses the condition task->mm ==
NULL as a hint that task has no FPSIMD register context.

The ->mm check is only there to filter out tasks that cannot
possibly have FPSIMD context loaded, for optimisation purposes.
Also, TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE must always be checked anyway before
saving FPSIMD context back to memory.  For these reasons, the ->mm
checks are not useful, providing that TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is
maintained in a consistent way for all threads.

The context switch logic is already deliberately optimised to defer
reloads of the regs until ret_to_user (or sigreturn as a special
case), and save them only if they have been previously loaded.
These paths are the only places where the wrong_task and wrong_cpu
conditions can be made false, by calling fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu().
Kernel threads by definition never reach these paths.  As a result,
the wrong_task and wrong_cpu tests in fpsimd_thread_switch() will
always yield true for kernel threads.

This patch removes the redundant checks and special-case code,
ensuring that TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set whenever a kernel thread
is scheduled in, and ensures that this flag is set for the init
task.  The fpsimd_flush_task_state() call already present in
copy_thread() ensures the same for any new task.

With TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE always set for kernel threads, this patch
ensures that no extra context save work is added for kernel
threads, and eliminates the redundant context saving that may
currently occur for kernel threads that have acquired an mm via
use_mm().
