Subject: MIPS: Avoid BUG warning in arch_check_elf

From: James Cowgill <[email protected]>

commit c46f59e90226fa5bfcc83650edebe84ae47d454b upstream.

arch_check_elf contains a usage of current_cpu_data that will call smp_processor_id() with preemption enabled and therefore triggers a "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible" warning when an fpxx executable is loaded.

As a follow-up to commit b244614a60ab ("MIPS: Avoid a BUG warning during prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...)"), apply the same fix to arch_check_elf by using raw_current_cpu_data instead. The rationale quoted from the previous commit:

"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."
