x86: fix merge mistake in i387.c

Browse source 
convert_fxsr_to_user() in 2.6.24's i387_32.c did this, and
convert_to_fxsr() also does the inverse, so I assume it's an oversight
that it is no longer being done.

[ mingo@elte.hu:

  we encode it this way because there's no space for the 'FPU Last
  Instruction Opcode' (->fop) field in the legacy user_i387_ia32_struct
  that PTRACE_GETFPREGS/PTRACE_SETFPREGS uses.

  it's probably pure legacy - i'd be surprised if any user-space relied on
  the FPU Last Opcode in any way. But indeed we used to do it previously
  so the most conservative thing is to preserve that piece of information.
