Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] x86, fpu:
	__restore_xstate_sig()->math_state_restore() needs preempt_disable()

Add preempt_disable() + preempt_enable() around math_state_restore() in
__restore_xstate_sig(). Otherwise __switch_to() after __thread_fpu_begin()
can overwrite fpu->state we are going to restore.
