[PATCH 1/2] MIPS: MSA: bugfix - disable MSA during thread switch correctly

From: Leonid Yegoshin
Date: Tue May 19 2015 - 17:14:08 EST


During thread cloning the new (child) thread should have MSA disabled even
at first thread entry. So, the code to disable MSA is moved from macro
'switch_to' to assembler function 'resume' before it switches kernel stack
to 'next' (new) thread. Call of 'disable_msa' after 'resume' in 'switch_to'
macro never called a first time entry into thread.
