x86/fpu/math-emu: Fix crash in fork()
During later stages of math-emu bootup the following crash triggers: math_emulate: 0060:c100d0a8 Kernel panic - not syncing: Math emulation needed in kernel CPU: 0 PID: 1511 Comm: login Not tainted 4.2.0-rc7+ #1012 [...] Call Trace: [<c181d50d>] dump_stack+0x41/0x52 [<c181c918>] panic+0x77/0x189 [<c1003530>] ? math_error+0x140/0x140 [<c164c2d7>] math_emulate+0xba7/0xbd0 [<c100d0a8>] ? fpu__copy+0x138/0x1c0 [<c1109c3c>] ? __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x12c/0x870 [<c136ac20>] ? proc_clear_tty+0x40/0x70 [<c136ac6e>] ? session_clear_tty+0x1e/0x30 [<c1003530>] ? math_error+0x140/0x140 [<c1003575>] do_device_not_available+0x45/0x70 [<c100d0a8>] ? fpu__copy+0x138/0x1c0 [<c18258e6>] error_code+0x5a/0x60 [<c1003530>] ? math_error+0x140/0x140 [<c100d0a8>] ? fpu__copy+0x138/0x1c0 [<c100c205>] arch_dup_task_struct+0x25/0x30 [<c1048cea>] copy_process.part.51+0xea/0x1480 [<c115a8e5>] ? dput+0x175/0x200 [<c136af70>] ? no_tty+0x30/0x30 [<c1157242>] ? do_vfs_ioctl+0x322/0x540 [<c104a21a>] _do_fork+0xca/0x340 [<c1057b06>] ?

Don't try to copy the registers, the soft state will be copied by fork anyway, so the child task inherits the parent task's soft math state. With this fix applied math-emu kernels boot up fine on modern hardware and the 'no387 nofxsr' boot options.
