    This fixes a few issues with FSCR init and switching.
    
    In commit 152d523e ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers
    save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") we moved the setting of the FSCR
    register from inside an CPU_FTR_ARCH_207S section to inside just a
    CPU_FTR_ARCH_DSCR section. Hence we are setting FSCR on POWER6/7 where
    the FSCR doesn't exist. This is harmless but we shouldn't do it.
    
    Also, we can simplify the FSCR context switch. We don't need to go
    through the calculation involving dscr_inherit. We can just restore
    what we saved last time.
    
    We also set an initial value in INIT_THREAD, so that pid 1 which is
    cloned from that gets a sane value.
    
    Based on patch by Jack Miller.
