MIPS: fix FP mode selection in lieu of .MIPS.abiflags data
commit 620b1550 upstream. Commit 46490b57 ("MIPS: kernel: elf: Improve the overall ABI and FPU mode checks") reworked the ELF FP ABI mode selection logic, but when CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT is enabled it breaks the use of binaries which have no PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS program header & associated .MIPS.abiflags section. A default mode is selected based upon whether the ELF contains MIPS32 or MIPS64 code, but that selection is made in arch_elf_pt_proc. arch_elf_pt_proc only executes when a PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS program header is found. If one is not found then arch_elf_pt_proc is never called, and no default overall_fp_mode value is selected. When arch_check_elf is called, both abi0 & abi1 are MIPS_ABI_FP_UNKNOWN which leads to both prog_req & interp_req being set to none_req. none_req matches none of the conditions for mode selection at the end of arch_check_elf, so overall_fp_mode is left untouched. Finally once mips_set_personality_fp is called the BUG() in the default case is then hit & the kernel likely panics. Fix this by moving the selection of a default overall mode to the start of arch_check_elf, which runs once per ELF executed regardless of whether it has a PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS program header.
