x86/fpu: Don't save fxregs for ia32 frames in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()

In commit

  72a671ced66db ("x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels")

the 32bit and 64bit path of the signal delivery code were merged.

The 32bit version:

  int save_i387_xstate_ia32(void __user *buf)
  …
         if (cpu_has_xsave)
                 return save_i387_xsave(fp);
         if (cpu_has_fxsr)
                 return save_i387_fxsave(fp);

The 64bit version:

  int save_i387_xstate(void __user *buf)
  …
         if (user_has_fpu()) {
                 if (use_xsave())
                         err = xsave_user(buf);
                 else
                         err = fxsave_user(buf);

                 if (unlikely(err)) {
                         __clear_user(buf, xstate_size);
                         return err;

The merge:

  int save_xstate_sig(void __user *buf, void __user *buf_fx, int size)
  …
         if (user_has_fpu()) {
                 /* Save the live register state to the user directly. */
                 if (save_user_xstate(buf_fx))
                         return -1;
                 /* Update the thread's fxstate to save the fsave header. */
                 if (ia32_fxstate)
                         fpu_fxsave(&tsk->thread.fpu);

I don't think that we needed to save the FPU registers to ->thread.fpu
because the registers were stored in buf_fx. Today the state will be
restored from buf_fx after the signal was handled (I assume that this
was also the case with lazy-FPU).

Since commit

  66463db4fc560 ("x86, fpu: shift drop_init_fpu() from save_xstate_sig() to handle_signal()")

it is ensured that the signal handler starts with clear/fresh set of FPU
registers which means that the previous store is futile.

Remove the copy_fxregs_to_kernel() call because task's FPU state is
cleared later in handle_signal() via fpu__clear().
