arm: fix a preempt_count() corruption for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n

Hi All,

After a hard days' work, I've managed to track down a ghost causing sporadic kernel warnings and system crashes. The patch applies for the HEAD of linux-stable. I don't know how to create and submit patches correctly, and hope that somebody will pick it up...

Regards,
Patrik

Subject: [PATCH] arm: fix a preempt_count() corruption for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n

All the preempt-disabling assembly code is under CONFIG_PREEMPT, while VFP_bounce calls preempt_enable() uncoditionally, leading to a preempt_count() corruption (gets set to 0xffffffff). Fix the imbalance by adding #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT before preempt_enable().
