Upstream cdef9602fb [signal: always clear sa_restorer on execve] was
also applied to v3.0 and v3.4 stable branches. So, the SA_RESTORER patch
Ralf applied to v3.8 is needed as well.

Here's the original commit message:
SA_RESTORER used to be defined as 0x04000000 but only the O32 ABI ever
supported its use and no libc was using it, so the entire sa-restorer
functionality was removed with lmo commit 39bffc12c3580ab [Zap sa_restorer.]
for 2.5.48 retaining only the SA_RESTORER definition as a reminder to avoid
accidental reuse of the mask bit.

Upstream cdef9602fbf1871a43f0f1b5cea10dd0f275167d [signal: always clear
sa_restorer on execve] adds code that assumes sa_sigaction has an
sa_restorer field, if SA_RESTORER is defined which would break MIPS.
So remove the SA_RESTORER definition before the v3.8.4 merge.
