k(un)map_coherent relies on pagefault_disable() to also disable preemption. Let's make this explicit, to prepare for pagefault_disable() not touching preemption anymore. This patch is based on a patch by Yang Shi on the -rt tree: "k{un}map_coherent are just called when cpu_has_dc_aliases == 1 with VIPT cache. However, actually, the most modern MIPS processors have PIPT dcache without dcache alias issue. In such case, k{un}map_atomic will be called with preempt enabled."
