Having PR_FP_MODE_FRE (i.e. Config5.FRE) set without PR_FP_MODE_FR (i.e. 
Status.FR) is not supported as the lone purpose of Config5.FRE is to 
emulate Status.FR=0 handling on FPU hardware that has Status.FR=1 
hardwired[1][2].  Also we do not handle this case elsewhere, and assume 
throughout our code that TIF_HYBRID_FPREGS and TIF_32BIT_FPREGS cannot 
be set both at once for a task, leading to inconsistent behaviour if 
this does happen.

Return unsuccessfully then from prctl(2) PR_SET_FP_MODE calls requesting 
PR_FP_MODE_FRE to be set with PR_FP_MODE_FR clear.  This corresponds to 
modes allowed by `mips_set_personality_fp'.
