MIPS: Ensure FCSR cause bits are clear after invoking FPU emulator

When running the emulator to handle an instruction that raised an FP
unimplemented operation exception, the FCSR cause bits were being
cleared. This is done to ensure that the kernel does not take an FP
exception when later restoring FP context to registers. However, this
was not being done when the emulator is invoked in response to a
coprocessor unusable exception. This happens in 2 cases:

  - There is no FPU present in the system. In this case things were
    OK, since the FP context is never restored to hardware registers
    and thus no FP exception may be raised when restoring FCSR.

  - The FPU could not be configured to the mode required by the task.
    In this case it would be possible for the emulator to set cause
    bits which are later restored to hardware if the task migrates
    to a CPU whose associated FPU does support its mode requirements,
    or if the tasks FP mode requirements change.

Consistently clear the cause bits after invoking the emulator, by moving
the clearing to process_fpemu_return and ensuring this is always called
before the tasks FP context is restored. This will make it easier to
catch further paths invoking the emulator in future, as will be
introduced in further patches.
