Jim Quinlan e97c5b6098 MIPS: Make irqflags.h functions preempt-safe for non-mipsr2 cpus
For non MIPSr2 processors, such as the BMIPS 5000, calls to
arch_local_irq_disable() and others may be preempted, and in doing
so a stale value may be restored to c0_status.  This fix disables
preemption for such processors prior to the call and enables it
after the call.

Those functions that needed this fix have been "outlined" to
mips-atomic.c, as they are no longer good candidates for inlining.

This bug was observed in a BMIPS 5000, occuring once every few hours
in a continuous reboot test.  It was traced to the write_lock_irq()
function which was being invoked in release_task() in exit.c.
By placing a number of "nops" inbetween the mfc0/mtc0 pair in
arch_local_irq_disable(), which is called by write_lock_irq(), we
were able to greatly increase the occurance of this bug.  Similarly,
the application of this commit silenced the bug.
