Subject: [PATCH 4.4 65/73] MIPS: Avoid a BUG warning during prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...)

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

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

From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@...tec.com>

commit b244614a60ab7ce54c12a9cbe15cfbf8d79d0967 upstream.

cpu_has_fpu macro uses smp_processor_id() and is currently executed
with preemption enabled, that triggers the warning at runtime.

It is assumed throughout the kernel that if any CPU has an FPU, then all
CPUs would have an FPU as well, so it is safe to perform the check with
preemption enabled - change the code to use raw_ variant of the check to
avoid the warning.
