x86/xsave: adjust state management

The initial state for a vCPU is using default values, so there's no
need to force the XRSTOR to read the state from memory. This saves a
couple of thousand restores from memory just during boot of Linux on
my Sandy Bridge system (I didn't try to make further measurements).

The above requires that arch_set_info_guest() updates the state flags
in the save area when valid floating point state got passed in, but
that would really have been needed even before in case XSAVE{,OPT}
decided to clear one or both of the FP and SSE bits.

Furthermore, hvm_vcpu_reset_state() shouldn't just clear out the FPU/
SSE area, but needs to re-initialized MXCSR and FCW.
