    x86/fpu: Fix stale comments about lazy FPU logic · 7f1487c5
    Ingo Molnar authored
    We don't do any lazy restore anymore, what we have are two pieces of optimization:
    
     - no-FPU tasks that don't save/restore the FPU context (kernel threads are such)
    
     - cached FPU registers maintained via the fpu->last_cpu field. This means that
       if an FPU task context switches to a non-FPU task then we can maintain the
       FPU registers as an in-FPU copies (cache), and skip the restoration of them
       once we switch back to the original FPU-using task.
    
    Update all the comments that still referred to old 'lazy' and 'unlazy' concepts.
