[powerpc] SET_RESTORE_ROUND optimizations and bug fix
SET_RESTORE_ROUND brackets a block of code, temporarily setting and
restoring the rounding mode and letting everything else, including
exceptions generated within the block, pass through.
On powerpc, the current code clears the exception enables, which will hide
exceptions generated within the block. This issue was introduced by me
in commit e905212627350d54b58426214b5a54ddc852b0c9.
Fix this by not clearing exception enable bits in the prologue.
Also, since we are no longer changing the enable bits in either the
prologue or the epilogue, there is no need to test for entering/exiting
non-stop mode.
Also, optimize the prologue get/save/set rounding mode operations for
POWER9 and later by using 'mffscrn' when possible.
