mips: Call lose_fpu(0) before initializing fcr31 in mips_set_personality_nan

If we still own the FPU after initializing fcr31, when we are preempted
the dirty value in the FPU will be read out and stored into fcr31,
clobbering our setting.  This can cause an improper floating-point
environment after execve().  For example:

    zsh% cat measure.c
    #include <fenv.h>
    int main() { return fetestexcept(FE_INEXACT); }
    zsh% cc measure.c -o measure -lm
    zsh% echo $((1.0/3)) # raising FE_INEXACT
    0.33333333333333331
    zsh% while ./measure; do ; done
    (stopped in seconds)

Call lose_fpu(0) before setting fcr31 to prevent this.
