The following two reasons cause FP registers are sometimes not
initialized before starting the user program.
1. Currently, the FP context is initialized in flush_thread() function
and we expect these initial values to be restored to FP register when
doing FP context switch. However, the FP context switch only occurs in
switch_to function. Hence, if this process does not be scheduled out
and scheduled in before entering the user space, the FP registers
have no chance to initialize.
2. In flush_thread(), the state of reg->sstatus.FS inherits from the
parent. Hence, the state of reg->sstatus.FS may be dirty. If this
process is scheduled out during flush_thread() and initializing the
FP register, the fstate_save() in switch_to will corrupt the FP context
which has been initialized until flush_thread().
To solve the 1st case, the initialization of the FP register will be
completed in start_thread(). It makes sure all FP registers are initialized
before starting the user program. For the 2nd case, the state of
reg->sstatus.FS in start_thread will be set to SR_FS_OFF to prevent this
process from corrupting FP context in doing context save. The FP state is
set to SR_FS_INITIAL in start_trhead().
