    s390/vx: fix save/restore of fpu kernel context
    
    [ Upstream commit e6b2dab41888332bf83f592131e7ea07756770a4 ]
    
    The KERNEL_FPR mask only contains a flag for the first eight vector
    registers. However floating point registers overlay parts of the first
    sixteen vector registers.
    
    This could lead to vector register corruption if a kernel fpu context uses
    any of the vector registers 8 to 15 and is interrupted or calls a
    KERNEL_FPR context. If that context uses also vector registers 8 to 15,
    their contents will be corrupted on return.
    
    Luckily this is currently not a real bug, since the kernel has only one
    KERNEL_FPR user with s390_adjust_jiffies() and it is only using floating
    point registers 0 to 2.
    
    Fix this by using the correct bits for KERNEL_FPR.
