x86/fpu: Fix irq_fpu_usable() to return false during CPU onlining
irq_fpu_usable() incorrectly returned true before the FPU is
initialized. The x86 CPU onlining code can call sha256() to checksum
AMD microcode images, before the FPU is initialized. Since sha256()
recently gained a kernel-mode FPU optimized code path, a crash occurred
in kernel_fpu_begin_mask() during hotplug CPU onlining.
(The crash did not occur during boot-time CPU onlining, since the
optimized sha256() code is not enabled until subsys_initcalls run.)
Fix this by making irq_fpu_usable() return false before fpu__init_cpu()
has run. To do this without adding any additional overhead to
irq_fpu_usable(), replace the existing per-CPU bool in_kernel_fpu with
kernel_fpu_allowed which tracks both initialization and usage rather
than just usage. The initial state is false; FPU initialization sets it
to true; kernel-mode FPU sections toggle it to false and then back to
true; and CPU offlining restores it to the initial state of false.
Fixes: 11d7956 ("crypto: x86/sha256 - implement library instead of shash")
