Nit: it took me a minute to realize that there is both:

	vcpu->arch.user_fpu
and
	vcpu->arch.guest_fpu

It might help readability to have local variables for those, or at least
a comment to help differentiate the two.

This also makes me wonder if we want to have copy_fpregs_to_fpstate()
check for TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD and complain if it's set.
