    Fix a build regression from commit c9017757 ("MIPS: init upper 64b
    of vector registers when MSA is first used"):
    
    arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `enable_restore_fp_context':
    traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
    traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'
    traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
    traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'
    
    to !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations with older GCC versions, which are
    unable to figure out that calls to `_init_msa_upper' are indeed dead.
    Of the many ways to tackle this failure choose the approach we have
    already taken in `thread_msa_context_live'.
