[ARM] VFP: fix section mismatch error
Fix a real section mismatch issue; the test code is thrown away after initialisation, but if we do not detect the VFP hardware, it is left hooked into the exception handler. Any VFP instructions which are subsequently executed risk calling the discarded exception handler. Introduce a new "null" handler which returns to the "unrecognised fault" return address.
