[PATCH RFC 14/15] mips: properly lock access to the fpu

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Wed May 06 2015 - 13:52:17 EST


Let's always disable preemption and pagefaults when locking the fpu,
so we can be sure that the owner won't change in between.

This is a preparation for pagefault_disable() not touching preemption
anymore.
