x86, fpu: Avoid FPU lazy restore after suspend

When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running
on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context.

We can just invalidate the "fpu_owner_task", so nobody will try to
lazy restore a state which no longer exists in the hardware.

Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.

The issue seems to exist since 3.4 (after the FPU lazy restore was actually implemented),
to apply the change to 3.4, "this_cpu_write" needs to be replaced by percpu_write.
