Reset errno before PTRACE_PEEKUSER for MIPS DSP_CONTROL

PTRACE_PEEKUSER can return -1, which is usually used to determine whether
a system call has reported an error, so errno must be used alone to
determine whether an error occurred. However errno isn't modified by a
successful system call so it must be reset to a known value (0) before the
syscall call.

Add the missing errno reset when reading the DSP_CONTROL register in the
native MIPS Linux backend and the MIPS gdbserver backend.

gdb/:
	* mips-linux-nat.c (mips_linux_read_description): Reset errno to 0
	prior to reading DSP_CONTROL with PTRACE_PEEKUSER ptrace call.

gdb/gdbserver/:
	* linux-mips-low.c (mips_read_description): Reset errno to 0 prior
	to reading DSP_CONTROL with PTRACE_PEEKUSER ptrace call.
