        Be a lot more careful about TS_USEDFPU and preemption
    
        We had some races where we testecd (or set) TS_USEDFPU together
        with sequences that depended on the setting (like clearing or
        setting the TS flag in %cr0) and we could be preempted in between,
        which screws up the FPU state, since preemption will itself change
        USEDFPU and the TS flag.
    
        This makes it a lot more explicit: the "internal" low-level FPU
        functions ("__xxxx_fpu()") all require preemption to be disabled,
        and the exported "real" functions will make sure that is the case.
    
        One case - in __switch_to() - was switched to the non-preempt-safe
        internal version, since the scheduler itself has already disabled
        preemption.
