Stephen Boyd 568dca15aa ARM: 7627/1: Predicate preempt logic on PREEMP_COUNT not PREEMPT alone
Patrik Kluba reports that the preempt count becomes invalid due
to the preempt_enable() call being unbalanced with a
preempt_disable() call in the vfp assembly routines. This happens
because preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() update preempt
counts under PREEMPT_COUNT=y but the vfp assembly routines do so
under PREEMPT=y. In a configuration where PREEMPT=n and
DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y, PREEMPT_COUNT=y and so the preempt_enable()
call in VFP_bounce() keeps subtracting from the preempt count
until it goes negative.

Fix this by always using PREEMPT_COUNT to decided when to update
preempt counts in the ARM assembly code.
