powerpc: Disable VSX or current process in giveup_fpu/altivec
When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX for the current process. If we don't, on return to userspace it may execute a VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its register state refreshed correctly from the thread_struct. Ditto for altivec. This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31. lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31, which overlap the FPRs.
