fpu_emulator can lose fpu on get_user/put_user

[Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp>]

I found a potential problem in math emulation.  The math-emu uses
put_user/get_user to fetch the instruction or to emulate load/store
fp-regs.  The put_user/get_user can sleep then we can lose fpu
ownership on it.  It it happened, subsequent restore_fp will cause CpU
exception which not allowed in kernel.

Here is a quick fix.  Can be applied bath 2.4 and 2.6.  Could you apply?

Also, there is another problem in the math-emu.  While math-emu is not
reentrant, it will not work properly if a process lose ownership in
the math-emu and another process uses the math-emu.  One possible fix
is to save/restore ieee754_csr on get_user/put_user.  I will post a
patch later.
