    x86/fpu: Simplify and speed up fpu__copy() · e10078eb
    Ingo Molnar authored
    fpu__copy() has a preempt_disable()/enable() pair, which it had to do to
    be able to atomically unlazy the current task when doing an FNSAVE.
    
    But we don't unlazy tasks anymore, we always do direct saves/restores of
    FPU context.
    
    So remove both the unnecessary critical section, and update the comments.
