[PATCH] powerpc/signal: Fix possible build failure with unsafe_copy_fpr_{to/from}_user

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-08 09:26:01

When neither CONFIG_VSX nor CONFIG_PPC_FPU_REGS are selected,
unsafe_copy_fpr_to_user() and unsafe_copy_fpr_from_user() are
doing nothing.

Then, unless the 'label' operand is used elsewhere, GCC complains
about it being defined but not used.

To fix that, add an impossible 'goto label'.
