binutils/binutils: remove faulty patch

The added code should be conditinal to the target system
being !MIPS, but is based on the host system being !MIPS.

This is plain wrong, and had not been noticed until now
as I never used those binutils versions on MIPS.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:
     2 http://www.nabble.com/PATCH:-Use-short-for-fnstsw-td14775171.html
     3 
     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
