[POWERPC] Make current preempt-safe
Repeated -j20 kernel builds on a G5 Quad running an SMP PREEMPT kernel
would often collapse within a day, some exec failing with "Bad address".
In each case examined, load_elf_binary was doing a kernel_read, but
generic_file_aio_read's access_ok saw current->thread.fs.seg as USER_DS
instead of KERNEL_DS.
objdump of filemap.o shows gcc 4.1.0 emitting "mr r5,r13 ... ld r9,416(r5)"
here for get_paca()->__current, instead of the expected and much more usual
"ld r9,416(r13)"; I've seen other gcc4s do the same, but perhaps not gcc3s.
So, if the task is preempted and rescheduled on a different cpu in between
the mr and the ld, r5 will be looking at a different paca_struct from the
one it's now on, pick up the wrong __current, and perhaps the wrong seg.
Presumably much worse could happen elsewhere, though that split is rare.
Other architectures appear to be safe (x86_64's read_pda is more limiting
than get_paca), but ppc64 needs to force "current" into one instruction.
