Complement commit ac9ad83bc318 ("MIPS: prevent FP context set via ptrace
being discarded") and also initialize the FP context whenever FCSR alone
is written with a PTRACE_POKEUSR request addressing FPC_CSR, rather than
along with the full FPU register set in the case of the PTRACE_SETFPREGS
request.

Hi,
This is tricky to verify with modern user software as these days it all
uses PTRACE_SETFPREGS. I suppose I could tweak and rebuild `gdbserver' to
disable modern code and let it use fallback legacy support still present
there, but frankly I think the change is obviously correct.
Please apply.
Maciej
