x86/fpu/math-emu: Fix math-emu boot crash
On a math-emu bootup the following crash occurs:
Initializing CPU#0
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:779!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
[...]
EIP is at do_device_not_available+0xe/0x70
[...]
Call Trace:

The reason is that in the following commit:
b1276c48e91b ("x86/fpu: Initialize fpregs in fpu__init_cpu_generic()")
I failed to consider math-emu's limitation that it cannot execute the
FNINIT instruction in kernel mode.
The long term fix might be to allow math-emu to execute (certain) kernel
mode FPU instructions, but for now apply the safe (albeit somewhat ugly)
fix: initialize the emulation state explicitly without trapping out to
the FPU emulator.
