Introduce accessor functions allowing the kernel to access arbitrary
vector registers using an arbitrary data format. The accessors are
implemented in assembly, using macros to avoid massive duplication, in
order to make use of the existing support for MSA with & without
toolchain support. The accessors will be used in a later patch.

Commit d96cc3d1ec "MIPS: Add microMIPS MSA support." attempted to use
the value of a macro within an inline asm statement but instead emitted
a comment leading to the cfcmsa & ctcmsa instructions being omitted. Fix
that by passing CFC_MSA_INSN & CTC_MSA_INSN as arguments to the asm
statements.

When a task first makes use of MSA we need to ensure that the upper
64b of the vector registers are set to some value such that no
information can be leaked to it from the previous task to use MSA
context on the CPU. The architecture formerly specified that these
bits would be cleared to 0 when a scalar FP instructions wrote to the
aliased FP registers, which would have implicitly handled this as the
kernel restored scalar FP context. However more recent versions of the
specification now state that the value of the bits in such cases is
unpredictable. Initialise them explictly to be sure, and set all the
bits to 1 rather than 0 for consistency with the least significant
64b.

Just #ifdef away the C functions when included from an assembly file,
as will be done in a following commit.

The 'write_msa_##' macro incorrectly uses the 'cfcmsa'
instruction, which should be the 'ctcmsa' instruction.

This patch adds support for context switching the MSA vector registers.
These 128 bit vector registers are aliased with the FP registers - an
FP register accesses the least significant bits of the vector register
with which it is aliased (ie. the register with the same index). Due to
both this & the requirement that the scalar FPU must be 64-bit (FR=1) if
enabled at the same time as MSA the kernel will enable MSA & scalar FP
at the same time for tasks which use MSA. If we restore the MSA vector
context then we might as well enable the scalar FPU since the reason it
was left disabled was to allow for lazy FP context restoring - but we
just restored the FP context as it's a subset of the vector context. If
we restore the FP context and have previously used MSA then we have to
restore the whole vector context anyway (see comment in
enable_restore_fp_context for details) so similarly we might as well
enable MSA.
Thus if a task does not use MSA then it will continue to behave as
without this patch - the scalar FP context will be saved & restored as
usual. But if a task executes an MSA instruction then it will save &
restore the vector context forever more.

This patch introduces definitions for the MSA control registers and
functions which allow access to both the control & vector registers. If
the toolchain being used to build the kernel includes support for MSA
then this patch will make use of that support & use MSA instructions
directly. However toolchain support for MSA is very new & far from a
point where it can be reasonably expected that everyone building the
kernel uses a toolchain with support. Thus fallbacks using .word
assembler directives are also provided for now as a temporary measure.
