Nicolas Pitre 49bca4c281 [ARM] 3309/1: disable the pre-ARMv5 NPTL kernel helper in the non MMU case
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The cmpxchg emulation on pre-ARMv5 relies on user code executed from a
kernel address.  If the operation cannot complete atomically, it is
aborted from the usr_entry macro by clearing the Z flag.  This clearing
of the Z flag is done whenever the user pc is above TASK_SIZE.

However this "pc >= TASK_SIZE" test cannot work in the non MMU case.
Worse: the current code will corrupt the Z flag on every entry to the
kernel.

Let's disable it in the non MMU case for now.  Using NPTL on non MMU
targets needs to be worked out anyway.
