The save_fp_context & restore_fp_context pointers were being assigned
to the wrong variables if either:
- The kernel is configured for UP & runs on a system without an FPU,
since
b2ead5282885 "MIPS: Move & rename
fpu_emulator_{save,restore}_context".
- The kernel is configured for EVA, since
ca750649e08c "MIPS: kernel:
signal: Prevent save/restore FPU context in user memory".
This would lead to FP context being clobbered incorrectly when setting
up a sigcontext, then the garbage values being saved uselessly when
returning from the signal.
Fix by swapping the pointer assignments appropriately.
