    kernel - Fix floating point save state structure and minor npx issues
    
    * The floating point save structure(s) used by the kernel and possibly
      also userland were too large for x86-64 due to a porting error where
      'long' variables were left intact that should have been turned into
      32-bit variables.
    
      No known adverse effect to the too-large structures but we have to get
      it right.
    
    * npxexit() was not being called in a kernel thread exit case.  Kernel
      threads do not use the FP unit so the case was never hit, but fix it
      anyway.
    
    * Move a critical section to cover a flags test to handle a very rare
      preemptive thread switch issue.  Since the preempting thread is a
      kernel thread which does not use the FP unit this case was never hit,
      but fix it anyway.
