[PATCH v2 1/2] powerpc/math-emu: remove the dead code in math.c

The math.c is only built when CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is enabled.
So we would never get into the case that CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION
is not defined in this file.

It seems that these codes have been there for a very long time.
Benjamin Herrenschmidt has gave a detailed background of them.
  This is ancient code that was meant to emulate only load/stores/fmr
  without the rest of the emulation. The goal was to be able to boot
  userspace that was compiled without -msoft-float to *some* extent
  (bcs it would potentially use fp load/stores for things like memcpy)
  on small CPUs where the kernel footprint was critical.

  It's been obsolete for a while now.
