MIPS: ptrace: Make FPU context layout comments match reality
Correct comments across ptrace(2) handlers about an FPU register context layout discrepancy between MIPS I and later ISAs, which was fixed with `linux-mips.org' (LMO) commit 42533948caac ("Major pile of FP emulator changes."), the fix corrected with LMO commit 849fa7a50dff ("R3k FPU ptrace() handling fixes."), and then broken and fixed over and over again, until last time fixed with commit 80cbfad79096 ("MIPS: Correct MIPS I FP context layout"). NB running the GDB test suite for the relevant ABI/ISA and watching out for regressions is advisable when poking around ptrace(2). Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
