Al Viro d3c51b701b alpha: fix FEN fault handling
Type 3 instruction fault (FPU insn with FPU disabled) is handled
by quietly enabling FPU and returning.  Which is fine, except that
we need to do that both for fault in userland and in the kernel;
the latter *can* legitimately happen - all it takes is this:

.global _start
_start:
	call_pal 0xae
	lda $0, 0
	ldq $0, 0($0)

- call_pal CLRFEN to clear "FPU enabled" flag and arrange for
a signal delivery (SIGSEGV in this case).

Fixed by moving the handling of type 3 into the common part of
do_entIF(), before we check for kernel vs. user mode.

Incidentally, check for kernel mode is unidiomatic; the normal
way to do that is !user_mode(regs).  The difference is that
the open-coded variant treats any of bits 63..3 of regs->ps being
set as "it's user mode" while the normal approach is to check just
the bit 3.  PS is a 4-bit register and regs->ps always will have
bits 63..4 clear, so the open-code variant here is actually equivalent
to !user_mode(regs).  Harder to follow, though...

Reproducer above will crash any box where CLRFEN is not ignored by
PAL (== any actual hardware, AFAICS; PAL used in qemu doesn't
bother implementing that crap).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
