Subject: [PATCH RT v3] arm64: fpsimd: use preemp_disable in addition to
 local_bh_disable()

In v4.16-RT I noticed a number of warnings from task_fpsimd_load(). The
code disables BH and expects that it is not preemptible. On -RT the
task remains preemptible but remains the same CPU. This may corrupt the
content of the SIMD registers if the task is preempted during
saving/restoring those registers.

Add preempt_disable()/enable() to enfore the required semantic on -RT.

This should work. Compiling currently gcc-6 on the box to see what
happens. Since the crypto disables preemption "frequently" and I don't
expect or see anything to worry about.
