[glibc/release/2.28/master] mips: Force RWX stack for hard-float builds that can run on pre-4.8 kernels

    mips: Force RWX stack for hard-float builds that can run on pre-4.8 kernels
    
    Linux/Mips kernels prior to 4.8 could potentially crash the user
    process when doing FPU emulation while running on non-executable
    user stack.
    
    Currently, gcc doesn't emit .note.GNU-stack for mips, but that will
    change in the future. To ensure that glibc can be used with such
    future gcc, without silently resulting in binaries that might crash
    in runtime, this patch forces RWX stack for all built objects if
    configured to run against minimum kernel version less than 4.8.
    
    	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/Makefile
    	(test-xfail-check-execstack):
    	Move under mips-has-gnustack != yes.
    	(CFLAGS-.o*, ASFLAGS-.o*): New rules.
    	Apply -Wa,-execstack if mips-force-execstack == yes.
    	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/configure: Regenerated.
    	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/configure.ac
    	(mips-force-execstack): New var.
    	Set to yes for hard-float builds with minimum_kernel < 4.8.0
    	or minimum_kernel not set at all.
    	(mips-has-gnustack): New var.
    	Use value of libc_cv_as_noexecstack
    	if mips-force-execstack != yes, otherwise set to no.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 33bc9efd91de1b14354291fc8ebd5bce96379f12)
