On s390, no fpr/vrs were saved while resolving a symbol

According to the abi, the fpr-arguments are defined as call clobbered.
In leaf-functions, gcc 4.9 and newer can use fprs for saving/restoring gprs
instead of saving them to the stack.
If gcc do this in one of the resolver-functions, then the floating point
arguments of a library-function are invalid for the first library-function-call.
Thus, this patch saves/restores the fprs around the resolving code.
I think this bug is end-user-visible because it is due to an incorrect
implementation of the original ABI. Can you file a bug to track this
and add the number to the ChangeLog retroactively?
(The other patch, “Extend structs La_s390_regs / La_s390_retval” seems
different in this regard; I believe applications would have to check
that glibc supports the new ABI before they use the new features.)
Thanks,
