[PATCH] ppc: fix floating point register corruption

I recently discovered a bug on PPC which causes the floating point
registers to get corrupted when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

The problem occurred while running a multi threaded Java application that
does floating point.  The problem could be reproduced in anywhere from 2 to
6 hours.  With the patch I have included below it ran for over a week
without failure.
