[PATCH 2/2] MIPS: memset.S: Fix return of __clear_user from Lpartial_fixup

[Matt Redfearn]

The __clear_user function is defined to return the number of bytes that
could not be cleared. From the underlying memset / bzero implementation
this means setting register a2 to that number on return. Currently if a
page fault is triggered within the memset_partial block, the value
loaded into a2 on return is meaningless.

The label .Lpartial_fixup\@ is jumped to on page fault. Currently it
masks the remaining count of bytes (a2) with STORMASK, meaning that the
least significant 2 (32bit) or 3 (64bit) bits of the remaining count are
always clear.
Secondly, .Lpartial_fixup\@ expects t1 to contain the end address of the
copy. This is set up by the initial block:
	PTR_ADDU	t1, a0			/* end address */
However, the .Lmemset_partial\@ block then reuses register t1 to
calculate a jump through a block of word copies. This leaves it no
longer containing the end address of the copy operation if a page fault
occurs, and the remaining bytes calculation is incorrect.

Fix these issues by removing the and of a2 with STORMASK, and replace t1
with register t2 in the .Lmemset_partial\@ block.
