powerpc: Disable VSX or current process in giveup_fpu/altivec
When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX for the
current process. If we don't, on return to userspace it may execute a
VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its
register state refreshed correctly from the thread_struct. Ditto for
altivec.
This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in
fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to
do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace
with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before
another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and
hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.
lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on
VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the
wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31,
which overlap the FPRs.
