    MIPS: math-emu: Remove pr_err() calls from fpu_emu() · ca8eb05b

    The FPU emulator includes 2 calls to pr_err() which are triggered by
    invalid instruction encodings for MIPSr6 cmp.cond.fmt instructions.
    These cases are not kernel errors, merely invalid instructions which are
    already handled by delivering a SIGILL which will provide notification
    that something failed in cases where that makes sense.
    
    In cases where that SIGILL is somewhat expected & being handled, for
    example when crashme happens to generate one of the affected bad
    encodings, the message is printed with no useful context about what
    triggered it & spams the kernel log for no good reason.
    
    Remove the pr_err() calls to make crashme run silently & treat the bad
    encodings the same way we do others, with a SIGILL & no further kernel
    log output.
