ARM: 8100/1: Fix preemption disable in iwmmxt_task_enable()
commit 431a84b1 ("ARM: 8034/1: Disable preemption in iwmmxt_task_enable()") introduced macros {inc,dec}_preempt_count to iwmmxt_task_enable to make it run with preemption disabled. Unfortunately, other functions in iwmmxt.S also use concan_{save,dump,load} sections located in iwmmxt_task_enable() to deal with iWMMXt coprocessor. This causes an unbalanced preempt_count due to excessive dec_preempt_count and destroyed return addresses in callers of concan_ labels due to a register collision: Linux version 3.16.0-rc3-00062-gd92a333-dirty (jef@armhf) (gcc version 4.8.3 (Debian 4.8.3-4) ) #5 PREEMPT Thu Jul 3 19:46:39 CEST 2014 CPU: ARMv7 Processor [560f5815] revision 5 (ARMv7), cr=10c5387d CPU: PIPT / VIPT nonaliasing data cache, PIPT instruction cache Machine model: SolidRun CuBox ...

The test for valid ownership is moved to concan_save and is safe for the other user of it, iwmmxt_task_disable(). The register collision is also resolved by moving concan_ symbols as {inc,dec}_preempt_count are now local to iwmmxt_task_enable().
