mtfsf, mtfsfi and mtfsb1 instructions call helper_float_check_status
after updating the value of FPSCR, but helper_float_check_status
checks fp_status and fp_status isn't updated based on FPSCR and
since the value of fp_status is reset earlier in the instruction,
it's always 0.
Because of this helper_float_check_status would change the FI bit to 0
as this bit checks if the last operation was inexact and
float_flag_inexact is always 0.
These instructions also don't throw exceptions correctly since
helper_float_check_status throw exceptions based on fp_status.
This commit created a new helper, helper_fpscr_check_status that checks
FPSCR value instead of fp_status and checks for a larger variety of
exceptions than do_float_check_status.
Since fp_status isn't used, gen_reset_fpstatus() was removed.
The hardware used to compare QEMU's behavior to was a Power9.
