[PATCH RFC 09/15] futex: UP futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() relies on disabled preemption

[David Hildenbrand]

Let's explicitly disable/enable preemption in the !CONFIG_SMP version
of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic, to prepare for pagefault_disable() not
touching preemption anymore. This is needed for this function to be
callable from both, atomic and non-atomic context.

Otherwise we might break mutual exclusion when relying on a get_user()/
put_user() implementation.
