x86/fpu: Finish excising 'eagerfpu' 

Now that eagerfpu= is gone, remove it from the docs and some
comments.  Also sync the changes to tools/.

* After context switches there may be a (short) time period
* during which the in-FPU hardware registers are unchanged
* and still perfectly match this state, if the tasks
* scheduled afterwards are not using the FPU.
*
* This is the 'lazy restore' window of optimization, which
* we track though 'fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx' and 'fpu->last_cpu'.
*
* We detect whether a subsequent task uses the FPU via setting
* CR0::TS to 1, which causes any FPU use to raise a #NM fault.
*
* During this window, if the task gets scheduled again, we
* might be able to skip having to do a restore from this
* memory buffer to the hardware registers - at the cost of
* incurring the overhead of #NM fault traps.
*
* Note that on modern CPUs that support the XSAVEOPT (or other
* optimized XSAVE instructions), we don't use #NM traps anymore,
* as the hardware can track whether FPU registers need saving
* or not. On such CPUs we activate the non-lazy ('eagerfpu')
* logic, which unconditionally saves/restores all FPU state
* across context switches. (if FPU state exists.)
