x86/fpu/signal: Remove the legacy alignment check
Checking for the XSTATE buffer being 64-byte aligned, and if not, deciding just to restore the FXSR state is daft. If user space provides an unaligned math frame and has the extended state magic set in the FX software reserved bytes, then it really can keep the pieces. If the frame is unaligned and the FX software magic is not set, then fx_only is already set and the restore will use fxrstor. Remove it.
