Subject: MIPS: math-emu: Handle zero accumulator case in MADDF and MSUBF separately

From: Aleksandar Markovic <[email protected]>

commit ddbfff7429a75d954bf5bdff9f2222bceb4c236a upstream.

If accumulator value is zero, just return the value of previously calculated product. This brings logic in MADDF/MSUBF implementation closer to the logic in ADD/SUB case.
