This avoids races in the VFP code where the dead thread may have
state on another CPU. By moving this code to exit_thread(), we
will be running as the thread, and therefore be running on the
current CPU.
This means that we can ensure that the only local state is accessed
in the thread notifiers.

Add core functions to handle writes to the ep93xx software locked
registers.
There are a number of registers in the EP93xx System Controller
that require a write to the software lock register before they
can be updated. This patch adds a number of exported functions
to the ep93xx core that handle this access.
The software locked clock divider registers, VidClkDiv, MIRClkDiv,
I2SClkDiv and KeyTchClkDiv would typically involve writing a
specific value to the register. To support this the
ep93xx_syscon_swlocked_write() function is provided.
For the DeviceCfg register it's more typical to only need to
set or clear a single bit. A generic ep93xx_devcfg_set_clear()
function is provided to handle both operations. Two inline
functions, ep93xx_devcfg_set_bits() and ep93xx_devcfg_clear_bits()
are also provided to improve code readability.
In addition, the remaining bits in the System Controller Device
Config Register have been documented and the previously defined
names shortened.
All code paths that use this functionality have been updated
except for arch/arm/kernel/crunch.c. That code is in a context
switch path, which is not reentrant, so it is safe against itself.
