[COMMITTED] [powerpc] No need to enter "Ignore Exceptions Mode"

["Paul A. Clarke" <pc at us dot ibm dot com>]

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

Since at least POWER8, there is no performance advantage to entering
"Ignore Exceptions Mode", and doing so conditionally requires
 - the conditional logic, and
 - a system call.

Make it a no-op for uses within glibc.
---
v2: This was a new patch (#2) in the series "Various FPSCR-related changes".
v3: I was a bit uncomfortable with the approach used in v1/v2, which had
  side effects, although these were expected to be innocuous.
  I reimplemented this patch to be implemented only for uses that are
  internal to glibc.  These are all cases where the mode is to be changed
  only temporarily.  So, the state will be consistent after the code
  block is complete -- no unexpected side effects.
v4: This is the version committed.  New macro names at suggestion by Paul
  Murphy. I chose "__TEST_AND_{BEGIN,END}_NON_STOP" (instead of appending
  "P7") because it's not that the decision to independently enter or exit
  non-stop mode is architecture-specific, but that the uses of the
  functions including the new macros is to bracket a block of code in which
  we may care about transitioning temporarily to non-stop mode.  In other
  words, it's not as much a state change as a push/pop (BEGIN/END).
  And, it just happens to be on PWR8 and above we don't care.
