[PATCH v4 03/12] 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.

Set let's rework the VFP entry code a little bit so we can make the
local_bh_disable() call from C, with all the instrumentations that
happen to have been configured. Calling local_bh_enable() can be done
from asm, as it is a simple wrapper around __local_bh_enable_ip(), which
is always a callable function.
