MIPS: Clear [MSA]FPE CSR.Cause after notify_die()
When handling floating point exceptions (FPEs) and MSA FPEs the Cause bits of the appropriate control and status register (FCSR for FPEs and MSACSR for MSA FPEs) are read and cleared before enabling interrupts, presumably so that it doesn't have to go through the pain of restoring those bits if the process is pre-empted, since writing those bits would cause another immediate exception while still in the kernel. The bits aren't normally ever restored again, since userland never expects to see them set. However for virtualisation it is necessary for the kernel to be able to restore these Cause bits, as the guest may have been interrupted in an FP exception handler but before it could read the Cause bits. This can be done by registering a die notifier, to get notified of the exception when such a value is restored, and if the PC was at the instruction which is used to restore the guest state, the handler can step over it and continue execution. The Cause bits can then remain set without causing further exceptions. For this to work safely a few changes are made: - __build_clear_fpe and __build_clear_msa_fpe no longer clear the Cause bits, and now return from exception level with interrupts disabled instead of enabled. - do_fpe() now clears the Cause bits and enables interrupts after notify_die() is called, so that the notifier can chose to return from exception without this happening. - do_msa_fpe() acts similarly, but now actually makes use of the second argument (msacsr) and calls notify_die() with the new DIE_MSAFP, allowing die notifiers to be informed of MSA FPEs too.
