The recent commit 01eb01877f33 ("powerpc/64s: Fix restore_math
unnecessarily changing MSR") changed some of the handling of floating
point/vector restore.
In particular it caused current->thread.fpexc_mode to be copied into
the current MSR (via msr_check_and_set()), rather than just into
regs->msr (which is moved into MSR on return to userspace).
This can lead to a crash in the kernel if we take a floating point
exception when restoring FPSCR:
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 8 [#1]

Fix it by only loading the fpexc_mode value into regs->msr.
Also add a comment to explain that although VSX is subject to the
value of fpexc_mode, we don't have to handle that separately because
we only allow VSX to be enabled if FP is also enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
