[RFC PATCH REBASED 3/3] sched: Remove ARCH specific fpu_counter from task_struct

[Vineet Gupta]

fpu_counter in task_struct was used only by sh/x86.
Both of these now carry it in ARCH specific thread_struct, hence this
can now be removed from generic task_struct, shrinking it slightly for
other arches.
