s390/fpu: make use of __uninitialized macro

Code sections in s390 specific kernel code which use floating point or
vector registers all come with a 520 byte stack variable to save already in
use registers, if required.

With INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO enabled this variable
will always be initialized on function entry in addition to saving register
contents, which contradicts the intention (performance improvement) of such
code sections.

Therefore provide a DECLARE_KERNEL_FPU_ONSTACK() macro which provides
struct kernel_fpu variables with an __uninitialized attribute, and convert
all existing code to use this.

This way only this specific type of stack variable will not be initialized,
regardless of config options.
