[PATCH] m32r: update sys_tas() routine
This patch updates and fixes sys_tas() routine for m32r.
In the previous implementation, a lockup rarely caused at sys_tas()
routine in SMP environment.

I rewrote sys_tas() routine by using "lock -> unlock" instructions, and
utilizing the m32r's interrupt handling characteristics; the m32r processor
can accept interrupts only at the 32-bit instruction boundary. So, the
"unlock" instruction can be executed continuously after the "lock"
instruction execution without any interruptions.
In addition, to solve such a page_fault problem, I use a fixup code like
get_user().
And, as for the kernel lockup problem, we found that a calling
do_page_fault() routine with disabling interrupts might cause a lockup at
flush_tlb_others(), because we checked a completion of IPI handler's
operations in a spin-locked critical section.
Therefore, by using "lock -> unlock" code, we can implement the sys_tas()
rouitine without disabling interrupts explicitly, then no lockups would
happen at flush_tlb_others(), I hope.
Compile check and some working test in SMP environment have done.
