[PATCH 2/4] powerpc: remove the redundant flush_fp_to_thread() in setup_sigcontext()

In commit c6e6771b(powerpc: Introduce VSX thread_struct and CONFIG_VSX)
we add a invocation of flush_fp_to_thread() before copying the FPR or
VSR to users. But we already invoke the flush_fp_to_thread() in this
function. So remove one of them.
