MIPS: math-emu: CMP.Sxxx.<D|S>: Prevent occurrences of SIGILL crashes

Fix CMP.Sxxx.<D|S> SIGILL crashes by fixing main switch/case statement
in fpu_emul() function so that inadvertent fall-troughs are prevented.

Consider, let's say, CMP.SAF.S instruction when one of inputs is zero
and another input is a signaling NaN. The desired output is zero, and
the exception flag "invalid operation" set. For such case, the main
portion of the implementation is within "d_fmt" case of the main
"switch/case" statement in fpu_emul() function. The execution will
follow one of "if-else" branches that doesn't contain "goto cop1scr;"
statement, and will therefore reach the end of "d_fmt" case. It will
subsequently fall through to the next case, "l_fmt". After following
similar pattern, the execution will fall through to the succeeding
case, which is "default". The "default" case contains "return SIGILL;"
statement only. This means that the caller application will crash
with "illegal instruction" message.

It is obvious that above described fall-throughs are unnecessary and
harmful. This patch rectifies that behavior by providing "break;"
statements at the end of cases "d_fmt" and "l_fmt".

There are 22 instructions affected by this problem:

CMP.<SAF|SEQ|SLE|SLT|SNE|SOR|SUEQ|SULE|SULT|SUN|SUNE>.<D|S>.
