ARM: fix oops when using older ARMv4T CPUs
Alexander Shiyan reports that CLPS711x fails at boot time in the data exception handler due to a NULL pointer dereference. This is caused by the late-v4t abort handler overwriting R9 (which becomes zero). Fix this by making the abort handler save and restore R9.
