powerpc: Fix inconsistent Altivec handling in set_mcontext When support for fpu_kern_enter/fpu_kern_leave was added to powerpc, set_mcontext was updated to handle Altivec state restoration in the same way that the FPU state by lazily restoring the context on the first trap. However the function was not correctly updated to unconditionally clear the PCB_VEC and PSL_VEC bits from the pcb's flags and srr1 respectively which can sometimes result in a mismatch between a process's MSR[VEC] state and its pcb_flags. Fix this by simply clearing the VEC flags unconditionally in set_mcontext, which is already done for FPU/VSX. Fixes: a6662c37b6ffe ("powerpc: Implement fpu_kern_enter/fpu_kern_leave")

The fix was tested on a previously-failing CI test case and was confirmed to fix the issue. (https://ci.freebsd.org/view/Test/job/FreeBSD-main-powerpc64-test/1075/consoleText)
