[PATCH] 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.

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.
