Subject: [PATCH 4.7 44/69] MIPS: Fix pre-r6 emulation FPU initialisation

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

commit 7e956304eb8a285304a78582e4537e72c6365f20 upstream.

In the mipsr2_decoder() function, used to emulate pre-MIPSr6
instructions that were removed in MIPSr6, the init_fpu() function is
called if a removed pre-MIPSr6 floating point instruction is the first
floating point instruction used by the task. However, init_fpu()
performs varous actions that rely upon not being migrated. For example
in the most basic case it sets the coprocessor 0 Status.CU1 bit to
enable the FPU & then loads FP register context into the FPU registers.
If the task were to migrate during this time, it may end up attempting
to load FP register context on a different CPU where it hasn't set the
CU1 bit, leading to errors such as:

Fix this by disabling preemption around the call to init_fpu(), ensuring
that it starts & completes on one CPU.
