x86/fpu: Fix stale comments about lazy FPU logic
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.
