powerpc: Fix clearing of the FPSCR when invoking a signal handler
As pointed out by Gary Byers, we were clearing the image of the FPSCR (floating point status and control register) in the thread_struct before copying it to the user stack when invoking a signal. Thus the task would see its FPSCR getting cleared when it took a signal. While fixing it I noticed that our swapcontext system call was also clearing FPSCR. It shouldn't, so I fixed that too.
