Hi Jeff,

I missed a load of test failures while on vacation and just noticed
that the fix you did for a potentially uninitialized variable warning
is overwriting the stack and breaking MSA in MIPS.

I guess you may have intended to set the length appropriately and
only zero the elements that would not be set in the loop:

memset (&orig_perm[nelt], 0, MAX_VECT_LEN - nelt);

but I switched it to just zero initialise the whole array for
simplicity in the patch below.

I thought I'd check with you before committing. Obviously I'd like to
apply this to GCC 7 branch as well.

Thanks,
Matthew

As it is just 16, it is not a big deal either way, memsetting everything
might be even faster.  If it would be bigger than that, the MAX_VECT_LEN -
nelt case would be better.

Ok, thanks, even for GCC 7 branch.

Thanks Jakub. Committed on trunk and gcc-7-branch.
