    libc - fix getcontext bug from last commit
    
    * getcontext() should not save the FP state (which is all scratch),
      and was already setting the flags to indicate such, but still calling
      the xsave instruction.
    
      Remove the xsave instruction, fixing issues on numerous computers.
    
    * Note that setcontext() will properly restore the FP state if the context
      contains valid FP state (i.e. the ucontext was taken from a signal handler
      argument).
