ARM: vfp: ensure that thread flushing works if preempted
Prevent a preemption event causing the initialized VFP state being overwritten by ensuring that the VFP hardware access is disabled prior to starting initialization. We can then do this in safety while still allowing preemption to occur. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
