x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in flush_thread()
flush_thread() -> drop_init_fpu() is suboptimal and confusing. It does drop_fpu() or restore_init_xstate() depending on !use_eager_fpu(). But flush_thread() too checks eagerfpu right after that, and if it is true then restore_init_xstate() just burns CPU for no reason. We are going to load init_xstate_buf again after we set used_math()/user_has_fpu(), until then the FPU state can't survive after switch_to(). Remove it, and change the "if (!use_eager_fpu())" to call drop_fpu(). While at it, clean up the tsk/current usage.
