The current kernel behaviour is to reenable interrupts unconditionally
when taking a page fault. This patch changes this to only enable them
if interrupts were previously enabled.
It also fixes a problem seen with this fix in place: the kernel previously
flushed the vsyscall page when handling a signal, which is not only
unncessary, but caused a possible sleep with interrupts disabled.

Add implementation of flush_icache_range() suitable for signal handler
and kprobes. Remove flush_cache_sigtramp() and change signal.c to use
flush_icache_range().

Presently with preempt enabled there's the possibility to be preempted
after the TIF_USEDFPU test and the register save, leading to bogus
state post-__switch_to(). Use an explicit preempt_disable()/enable()
pair around unlazy_fpu()/clear_fpu() to avoid this. Follows the x86
change.

This implements kernel-level atomic rollback built on top of gUSA,
as an alternative non-IRQ based atomicity method. This is generally
a faster method for platforms that are lacking the LL/SC pairs that
SH-4A and later use, and is only supportable on legacy cores.
