Subject: [ 49/70] ARM: 7477/1: vfp: Always save VFP state in vfp_pm_suspend on UP

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

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

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

commit 24b35521b8ddf088531258f06f681bb7b227bf47 upstream.

vfp_pm_suspend should save the VFP state in suspend after
any lazy context switch.  If it only saves when the VFP is enabled,
the state can get lost when, on a UP system:
  Thread 1 uses the VFP
  Context switch occurs to thread 2, VFP is disabled but the
     VFP context is not saved
  Thread 2 initiates suspend
  vfp_pm_suspend is called with the VFP disabled, and the unsaved
     VFP context of Thread 1 in the registers

Modify vfp_pm_suspend to save the VFP context whenever
vfp_current_hw_state is not NULL.

Includes a fix from Ido Yariv <ido@...ery.com>, who pointed out that on
SMP systems, the state pointer can be pointing to a freed task struct if
a task exited on another cpu, fixed by using #ifndef CONFIG_SMP in the
new if clause.
