get_user may fail to load from the provided __user address due to an
unhandled fault generated by the access.

In the case of the undefined instruction trap, this results in failure
to load the faulting instruction, in which case we should send SIGILL to
the task rather than continue with potentially uninitialised data.

This is because of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is supposed to point to. The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs->ARM_pc pointing at the _next_ instruction to be executed. However, if the exception is not handled, regs->ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction. This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and previous instructions are separated by four bytes. This is not true of Thumb2 though. Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy. We just need to select the appropriate adjustment. Do this by moving the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit instruction.

ARM: 7424/1: update die handler from x86

Robustify ARM's die() handling with improvements from x86:

 - Fix for a deadlock (before panic in the case of panic_on_oops) if we
   oops under a spinlock which is also used from interrupt handler,
   since the old code was unconditionally enabling interrupts.

 - Usage of arch spinlock so lockdep etc doesn't get involved while
   we're trying to dump out oopses.

 - Deadlock prevention in the unlikely event that die() recurses.

The changes all touch the same few lines of code, so they're done
together in one patch.
