MIPS: fix EVA & non-SMP non-FPU FP context signal handling

commit 14fa12df1d6bc1d3389a0fa842e0ebd8e8a9af26 upstream.

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.
