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:

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.
