Paul Burton 7daef8f261 MIPS: consistently clear MSA flags when starting & copying threads
The TIF_MSA_CTX_LIVE flag (indicating that a task has MSA context which
needs to be preserved) was being cleared in start_thread, but the
TIF_USEDMSA flag (indicating that a task has used MSA in this timeslice)
was not. In copy_thread neither flag was cleared, but both need to be.
Without clearing these flags the kernel will proceed to attempt to save
MSA context when the task is context switched out, and if the task had
not used MSA in the meantime then it will fail because MSA or the FPU
are disabled. The end result is typically:

  do_cpu invoked from kernel context![#1]:
  CPU: 0 PID: 99 Comm: sh Not tainted 3.16.0-rc4-00025-g6dc9476-dirty #88
  task: 8f23dc60 ti: 8f1d8000 task.ti: 8f1d8000
  ...
  Call Trace:
  [<8010edbc>] resume+0x5c/0x280
  [<80481e0c>] __schedule+0x370/0x800
  [<80104838>] work_resched+0x8/0x2c

Fix by consistently clearing both flags in both functions.
