x86/fpu: Rename fpu->has_fpu to fpu->fpregs_active
So the current code uses fpu->has_cpu to determine whether a given user FPU context is actively loaded into the FPU's registers [*] and that those registers represent the task's current FPU state. But this term is not unambiguous: especially the distinction between fpu->has_fpu, PF_USED_MATH and fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx is not clear. Increase clarity by unambigously signalling that it's about hardware registers being active right now, by renaming it to fpu->fpregs_active. ( In later patches we'll use more of the 'fpregs' naming, which will make it easier to grep for as well. ) [*] There's the kernel_fpu_begin()/end() primitive that also activates FPU hw registers as well and uses them, without touching the fpu->fpregs_active flag.
