[PATCH v6] um: Enable preemption in UML

From: Anton Ivanov <anton.ivanov at cambridgegreys.com>

1. Preemption requires saving/restoring FPU state. This patch
adds support for it using GCC intrinsics as well as appropriate
storage space in the thread structure.

2. irq critical sections need preempt_disable()/preempt_enable().

3. TLB critical sections need preempt_disable()/preempt_enable().

4. UML TLB flush is also invoked during a fork. This happens
with interrupts and preempt disabled which disagrees with the
standard mm locking via rwsem. The mm lock for this code path
had to be replaced with an rcu.

5. The FPU state area is statically allocated depending on
the enabled PREEMPT options. PREEMPT_DYNAMIC and chosing the
preemption model at start time is disabled for the UM arch.
