[PATCH 4.5 017/128] MIPS: Prevent "restoration" of MSA context in non-MSA kernels

commit 6533af4d4831c421cd9aa4dce7cfc19a3514cc09 upstream.

If a kernel doesn't support MSA context (ie. CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA=n) then
it will only keep 64 bits per FP register in thread context, and the
calls to set_fpr64 in restore_msa_extcontext will overrun the end of the
FP register context into the FCSR & MSACSR values. GCC 6.x has become
smart enough to detect this & complain like so:

arch/mips/kernel/signal.c: In function 'protected_restore_fp_context':
./arch/mips/include/asm/processor.h:114:17: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
fpr->val##width[FPR_IDX(width, idx)] = val; \
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./arch/mips/include/asm/processor.h:118:1: note: in expansion of macro 'BUILD_FPR_ACCESS'
BUILD_FPR_ACCESS(64)

The only way to trigger this code to run would be for a program to set
up an artificial extended MSA context structure following a sigframe &
execute sigreturn. Whilst this doesn't allow a program to write to any
state that it couldn't already, it makes little sense to allow this
"restoration" of MSA context in a system that doesn't support MSA.

Fix this by killing a program with SIGSYS if it tries something as crazy
as "restoring" fake MSA context in this way, also fixing the build error
& allowing for most of restore_msa_extcontext to be optimised out of
kernels without support for MSA.
