Add a m68k-only set_fc helper to set the SFC and DFC registers for the
few places that need to override it for special MM operations, but
disconnect that from the deprecated kernel-wide set_fs() API.

Note that the SFC/DFC registers are context switched, so there is no need
to disable preemption.

Partially based on an earlier patch from
Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
