uml: stop saving process FP state
Throw out a lot of code dealing with saving and restoring floating-point state. In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state on kernel entry and exit is pointless. This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c. Most of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c. Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of the process sigcontext. After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost completely unneeded. The declarations in it are variables which either don't exist or which don't have global scope. The one exception is kill_off_processes_skas. If that's removed, this header can be deleted. This uncovered a bug in user.h, which wasn't correctly making sure that a size_t definition was available to both userspace and kernelspace files.
