Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc: make ALTIVEC select PPC_FPU

On a kernel config with ALTIVEC=y and PPC_FPU not set/enabled,
there are build errors:

drivers/cpufreq/pmac32-cpufreq.c:262:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'enable_kernel_fp' [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
           enable_kernel_fp();
../arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c: In function 'do_vec_load':
../arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:637:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'put_vr' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  637 |   put_vr(rn, &u.v);
      |   ^~~~~~
../arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c: In function 'do_vec_store':
../arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:660:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'get_vr'; did you mean 'get_oc'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  660 |   get_vr(rn, &u.v);
      |   ^~~~~~

In theory ALTIVEC is independent of PPC_FPU but in practice nobody
is going to build such a machine, so make ALTIVEC require PPC_FPU
by selecting it.
