powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without giving it up
This patch adds the ability to be able to save the FPU registers to the
thread struct without giving up (disabling the facility) next time the
process returns to userspace.
This patch optimises the thread copy path (as a result of a fork() or
clone()) so that the parent thread can return to userspace with hot
registers avoiding a possibly pointless reload of FPU register state.
