x86-32, fpu: Fix FPU exception handling on non-SSE systems

On 32bit systems without SSE (that is, they use FSAVE/FRSTOR for FPU
context switches), FPU exceptions in user mode cause Oopses, BUGs,
recursive faults and other nasty things:

fpu exception: 0000 [#1]

This usually continues in slight variations until the system is reset.

This bug was introduced by commit 58a992b9cbaf449aeebd3575c3695a9eb5d95b5e:
