ARM: vfp: Reimplement VFP exception entry in C code
En/disabling softirqs from asm code turned out to be trickier than expected, so vfp_support_entry now returns by tail calling __local_enable_bh_ip() and passing the same arguments that a C call to local_bh_enable() would pass. However, this is slightly hacky, as we don't want to carry our own implementation of local_bh_enable(). So let's bite the bullet, and get rid of the asm logic in vfp_support_entry that reasons about whether or not to save and/or reload the VFP state, and about whether or not an FP exception is pending, and only keep the VFP loading logic as a function that is callable from C. Replicate the removed logic in vfp_entry(), and use the exact same reasoning as in the asm code. To emphasize the correspondence, retain some of the asm comments in the C version as well.
