Subject: [PATCH RFC 05/15] mips: kmap_coherent relies on disabled preemption

k(un)map_coherent relies on pagefault_disable() to also disable
preemption.

Let's make this explicit, to prepare for pagefault_disable() not
touching preemption anymore.

This patch is based on a patch by Yang Shi on the -rt tree:
"k{un}map_coherent are just called when cpu_has_dc_aliases == 1 with VIPT
cache. However, actually, the most modern MIPS processors have PIPT dcache
without dcache alias issue. In such case, k{un}map_atomic will be called
with preempt enabled."
