  x86: fix FPU lazy swap

The ucontext->x86_fxsave is initialize as 512 bytes of zeros, but it
is not a valid value to be set onto FPU registers, causing a General
Protection Fault:

Interrupt 0x0d (General Protection Fault) while handling 0x07 (Device not available)
EAX=0012f4c0  ECX=001336e4  EDX=001334ac  EBX=001336e0
ESP=00123784  EBP=001237c8  ESI=00000200  EDI=00000000
Error code=00000000
CR0=80010031  CR2=00000000  CR3=0012d000  CR4=000001e0
EIP=0000:80010031  EFLAGS=0012d000
<stack trace>

Halting.

So lets copy the initial state of FPU registers before FPU is used
and set it as the initial state of FPU to new threads(coroutine).
