io_uring sets up the io worker kernel thread via a syscall out of an
user space prrocess. This process might have used FPU and since
copy_thread() didn't clear FPU states for kernel threads a BUG()
is triggered for using FPU inside kernel. Move code around
to always clear FPU state for user and kernel threads.
