    x86/fpu: Rename unlazy_fpu() to fpu__save() · 0a781551
    Ingo Molnar authored
    This function is a misnomer on two levels:
    
    1) it doesn't really manipulate TS on modern CPUs anymore, its
       primary purpose is to save FPU state, used:
    
          - when executing fork()/clone(): to copy current FPU state
            to the child's FPU state.
    
          - when handling math exceptions: to generate the math error
            si_code in the signal frame.
    
    2) even on legacy CPUs it doesn't actually 'unlazy', if then
       it lazies the FPU state: as a side effect of the old FNSAVE
       instruction which clears (destroys) FPU state it's necessary
       to set CR0::TS.
    
    So rename it to fpu__save() to better reflect its purpose.
