From: Mike Pall <mike>

Thanks to François Perrad and Stefan Pejic.

(cherry picked from commit d417ded17945b4211608d497d50b509e0274f5e0)

Premature decrementing VM's RC register before switch to fff_fallback
handler during processing `xpcall()` fast function leads to incorrect
stack layout (not enough arguments on stack), when `xpcall()` calls
without a second argument or if it is not a function (see <301-basic.t>
test in lua-Harness test suite). While further error processing it leads
to incorrect error message, due to stack inconsistency.

This patch stores intermediate result into TMP1 register (it does not
determine fallback's behaviour and there is no way to return from
fallback back to xpcall processing with spoiled TMP1) and moves RC
setting after possible switching to fallback handler.

Sergey Kaplun:
* added the description for the problem
