Subject: [PATCH 3.16 097/254] MIPS: Always clear FCSR cause bits after
 emulation

3.16.55-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@...ux-mips.org>

commit 443c44032a54f9acf027a8e688380fddc809bc19 upstream.

Clear any FCSR cause bits recorded in the saved FPU context after
emulation in all cases rather than in `do_fpe' only, so that any
unmasked IEEE 754 exception left from emulation does not cause a fatal
kernel-mode FPE hardware exception with the CTC1 instruction used by the
kernel to subsequently restore FCSR hardware from the saved FPU context.
