The !CONFIG_SMP implementation of futex_atomic_op_inuser() seems to rely
on disabled preemption to guarantee mutual exclusion.

From commit e589ed23dd27 ("[ARM] 5218/1: arm: improved futex support"):

    "For UP it's enough to disable preemption to ensure mutual exclusion..."

From the code itself:

    "!SMP, we can work around lack of atomic ops by disabling preemption"

Let's make this explicit, to prepare for pagefault_disable() not
touching preemption anymore.
