PATCH 1/1 ARM: entry: fix Thumb2 bug in iWMMXt exception handling

The Thumb2 version of the FP exception handling entry code treats the register holding the CP number (R8) differently, resulting in the iWMMXT CP number check to be incorrect.

Fix this by unifying the ARM and Thumb2 code paths, by switching the order of the additions of the TI_USED_CP offset and the shifted CP index.

Fixes b86040a59feb ("Thumb-2: Implementation of the unified start-up and exceptions code")

Found through inspection, while I was looking at the entry code for the IRQ and vmap'ed stacks work. Not sure whether/how this affects the Thumb2 kernel running on PJ4 based systems.
