x86, xsave: Disable xsave in i387 emulation mode

xsave is broken for (!HAVE_HWFP). This is the case if config
MATH_EMULATION is enabled, 'no387' kernel parameter is set and xsave
exists. xsave will not work because x86/math-emu and xsave share the
same memory. As this case can be treated as corner case we simply
disable xsave then.
