This fixes a VFP corruption problem in a process's main thread, when
both the main thread and a signal handler triggered for the process
uses floating point ops.
Changes since v1:
- save / restore VFP exception registers as well, to support user
space exception handling/VFP emulation.
- extend the existing ptrace VFP struct with the exception regs,
so that the VFP frame is equivalent for the ptrace and signal
handler case.
