vmw_fifo_ping_host() disables preemption around a test and a register write via vmw_write(). The write function acquires a spinlock_t typed lock which is not allowed in a preempt_disable()ed section on PREEMPT_RT. This has been reported in the bugzilla. It has been explained by Thomas Hellstrom that this preempt_disable()ed section is not required for correctness. Remove the preempt_disable() section.
