[RFT PATCH] ARM: vfp: Fix broken softirq handling with instrumentation enabled

Commit 62b95a7b44d1 (ARM: 9282/1: vfp: Manipulate task VFP state with
softirqs disabled) replaced the en/disable preemption calls inside the
VFP state handling code with en/disabling of soft IRQs, which is
necessary to allow kernel use of the VFP/SIMD unit when handling a soft
IRQ.

Unfortunately, when lockdep is enabled (or other instrumentation that
enables TRACE_IRQFLAGS), the disable path implemented in asm fails to
perform the lockdep and RCU related bookkeeping, resulting in spurious
warnings and other badness.

So let's call the C versions when they are available, and only fall back
to direct manipulation of the preempt_count when we disable soft IRQs
with those instrumentations disabled.
