Subject: [PATCH v3] MIPS: adding a safety check for cpu_has_fpu

From: Shida Zhang <zhangshida@...inos.cn>

There is a chance 'cpu_has_fpu' would still be overridden when the
CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT configuration option has been disabled. So
add a safety check for 'cpu_has_fpu'.

Suggested-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@...am.me.uk>
Signed-off-by: Shida Zhang <zhangshida@...inos.cn>
---
 Changelog in v1 -> v2:
 - Choose to redefine cpu_has_fpu to solve the problem silently.

 Changelog in v2 -> v3:
 - Choose to point out the error instead.
