ARM: 8100/1: Fix preemption disable in iwmmxt_task_enable()
commit 431a84b
("ARM: 8034/1: Disable preemption in iwmmxt_task_enable()")
introduced macros {inc,dec}_preempt_count to iwmmxt_task_enable
to make it run with preemption disabled.
Unfortunately, other functions in iwmmxt.S also use concan_{save,dump,load}
sections located in iwmmxt_task_enable() to deal with iWMMXt coprocessor.
This causes an unbalanced preempt_count due to excessive dec_preempt_count
and destroyed return addresses in callers of concan_ labels due to a register
collision:

This patch fixes the issue by moving concan_{save,dump,load} into separate
code sections and make iwmmxt_task_enable() call them in the same way the
other functions use concan_ symbols. The test for valid ownership is moved
to concan_save and is safe for the other user of it, iwmmxt_task_disable().
The register collision is also resolved by moving concan_ symbols as
{inc,dec}_preempt_count are now local to iwmmxt_task_enable().
