Subject: [ 48/70] ARM: 7476/1: vfp: only clear vfp state for current cpu in
 vfp_pm_suspend

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Colin Cross <ccross@...roid.com>

commit a84b895a2348f0dbff31b71ddf954f70a6cde368 upstream.

vfp_pm_suspend runs on each cpu, only clear the hardware state
pointer for the current cpu.  Prevents a possible crash if one
cpu clears the hw state pointer when another cpu has already
checked if it is valid.
