i387: Uninline the generic FP helpers that we expose to kernel modules
Instead of exporting the very low-level internals of the FPU state save/restore code (ie things like 'fpu_owner_task'), we should export the higher-level interfaces. Inlining these things is pointless anyway: sure, sometimes the end result is small, but while 'stts()' can result in just three x86 instructions, those are not cheap instructions (writing %cr0 is a serializing instruction and a very slow one at that). So the overhead of a function call is not noticeable, and we really don't want random modules mucking about with our internal state save logic anyway. So this unexports 'fpu_owner_task', and instead uninlines and exports the actual functions that modules can use: fpu_kernel_begin/end() and unlazy_fpu().
