MIPS: Properly disable FPU in start_thread()
start_thread() (called for execve(2)) clears the TIF_USEDFPU flag without atomically disabling the FPU. With a preemptive kernel, an unfortunately timed preemption after this could result in another task (or KVM guest) being scheduled in with the FPU still enabled, since lose_fpu_inatomic() only turns it off if TIF_USEDFPU is set. Use lose_fpu(0) instead of the separate FPU / MSA management, which should do the right thing (drop FPU properly and atomically without saving state) and will be more future proof.
