From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit df24fb859a4e200d9324e2974229fbb7adf00aef upstream.

Add preempt_disable() + preempt_enable() around math_state_restore() in
__restore_xstate_sig(). Otherwise __switch_to() after __thread_fpu_begin()
can overwrite fpu->state we are going to restore.
