powerpc/85xx: Fix math emulation exception
[ Upstream commit 8e8a12ecbc86700b5e1a3596ce2b3c43dafad336 ]
Booting mpc85xx_defconfig kernel on QEMU leads to:
Bad trap at PC: fe9bab0, SR: 2d000, vector=800
awk[82]: unhandled trap (5) at 0 nip fe9bab0 lr fe9e01c code 5 in libc-2.27.so[fe5a000+17a000]

Trace/breakpoint trap
WARNING: no useful console
This is because allthough CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is selected,
Exception 800 calls unknown_exception().
Call emulation_assist_interrupt() instead.
