[PATCH] [powerpc] __fesetround_inline optimizations


From: "Paul A. Clarke" <pc@us.ibm.com>

On POWER9, use more efficient means to update the 2-bit rounding mode
via the 'mffscrn' instruction (instead of two 'mtfsb0/1' instructions
or one 'mtfsfi' instruction that modifies 4 bits).

2019-09-10  Paul A. Clarke  <pc@us.ibm.com>

	* sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/fenv_libc.h (__fesetround_inline): Use
	'mffscrn' instruction on POWER9.
	(__fesetround_inline_nocheck): Likewise.
