[PATCH 4/5] powerpc: Remove redundant clear of MSR_VSX in __giveup_vsx()

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Date: 2017-08-16 06:01:31
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

__giveup_fpu() already does it and we cannot have MSR_VSX set
without having MSR_FP also set.

This also adds a warning to check we indeed do
