MIPS: Make local_irq_disable macro safe for non-Mipsr2
For non-mipsr2 processors, the local_irq_disable contains an mfc0-mtc0
pair with instructions inbetween. With preemption enabled, this sequence
may get preempted and effect a stale value of CP0_STATUS when executing
the mtc0 instruction. This commit avoids this scenario by incrementing
the preempt count before the mfc0 and decrementing it after the mtc9.
[ralf@linux-mips.org: This patch is sorting out the part that were missed
by e97c5b6098 [MIPS: Make irqflags.h functions preempt-safe for non-mipsr2
cpus.] I also re-enabled the inclusion of <asm/asm-offsets.h> at the top
of <asm/asmmacro.h>].
