[PATCH] math-emu: fix floating-point to integer unsigned saturation

From: Joseph Myers <joseph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The math-emu macros _FP_TO_INT and _FP_TO_INT_ROUND are supposed to
saturate their results for out-of-range arguments, except in the case
rsigned == 2 (when instead the low bits of the result are taken).
However, in the case rsigned == 0 (converting to unsigned integers),
they mistakenly produce 0 for positive results and the maximum
unsigned integer for negative results, the opposite of correct
unsigned saturation. This patch fixes the logic.

I intend to make the corresponding changes to the glibc/libgcc copy of
this code, given that it would be desirable to resync the Linux and
glibc/libgcc copies (the latter has had many enhancements and bug
fixes since it was copied into Linux), although strictly this
incorrect saturation is only a bug when trying to emulate particular
instruction semantics, not when used in userspace to implement C
operations where the results of out-of-range conversions are
unspecified or undefined.
