3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jiang Liu <[email protected]> commit 6db83cea1c975b9a102e17def7d2795814e1ae2b upstream. If context switching happens during executing fpsimd_flush_thread(), stale value in FPSIMD registers will be saved into current thread's fpsimd_state by fpsimd_thread_switch(). That may cause invalid initialization state for the new process, so disable preemption when executing fpsimd_flush_thread().
