Fix a commit 72b22bbad1e7 ("MIPS: Don't assume 64-bit FP registers for FP regset") public API regression, then activated by commit 1db1af84d6df ("MIPS: Basic MSA context switching support"), that caused the FCSR register not to be read or written for CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA kernel configurations (regardless of actual presence or absence of the MSA feature in a given processor) with ptrace(2) PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET requests nor recorded in core dumps.
This is because with !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations the whole of `elf_fpregset_t' array is bulk-copied as it is, which includes the FCSR in one half of the last, 33rd slot, whereas with CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations array elements are copied individually, and then only the leading 32 FGR slots while the remaining slot is ignored.
Correct the code then such that only FGR slots are copied in the respective !MSA and MSA helpers an then the FCSR slot is handled separately in common code. Use `ptrace_setfcr31' to update the FCSR too, so that the read-only mask is respected.
Retrieving a correct value of FCSR is important in debugging not only for the human to be able to get the right interpretation of the situation, but for correct operation of GDB as well. This is because the condition code bits in FSCR are used by GDB to determine the location to place a breakpoint at when single-stepping through an FPU branch instruction. If such a breakpoint is placed incorrectly (i.e. with the condition reversed), then it will be missed, likely causing the debuggee to run away from the control of GDB and consequently breaking the process of investigation.
Fortunately GDB continues using the older PTRACE_GETFPREGS ptrace(2) request which is unaffected, so the regression only really hits with post-mortem debug sessions using a core dump file, in which case execution, and consequently single-stepping through branches is not possible. Of course core files created by buggy kernels out there will have the value of FCSR recorded clobbered, but such core files cannot be corrected and the person using them simply will have to be aware that the value of FCSR retrieved is not reliable.
Which also means we can likely get away without defining a replacement API which would ensure a correct value of FSCR to be retrieved, or none at all.
This is based on previous work by Alex Smith, extensively rewritten.

I think the fix to use `ptrace_setfcr31' could be a separate change, but given how its absence has been entangled with the inconsistency between !MSA and MSA I cannot imagine how to do it in a sane manner:
1. If done first, then it would have to be applied to the !MSA case only, only to be moved to shared code in the next step.
2. If done second, then new incorrect shared code would have to be written only to be fixed in the next step.
So I think it has to go along with the main fix. Though maybe choosing #2 would make backporting easier, as `ptrace_setfcr31' is v4.1+ only and:
target->thread.fpu.fcr31 = fcr31;
has to be used before that (previously the read-only mask wasn't defined and you could write arbitrary rubbish to FCSR, especially in the emulated case).
Thoughts?
