There was a bug report on PREEMPT_RT which made me look into VFP locking
on ARM. The usage of local_bh_disable() to ensure exclusive access to
the VFP unit is not working on PREEMPT_RT because the softirq context is
preemptible.
This series introduces vfp_vfp_state_hold() which does the right thing.

suggested by Russell King.
