[PATCH RT] arm64: fpsimd: use a local_lock() 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 a locallock around next to the local_bh_disable(). This fulfill the
requirement that the code is not invoked again in different context on
the same CPU while it remains preemptible.

The preempt_disable() + local_bh_enable() combo in kernel_neon_begin()
is not working on -RT. We don't use NEON in kernel mode on RT right now
but this still should be addressed.
