Subject: parisc: Extend disabled preemption in copy_user_page

From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>

commit 56008c04ebc099940021b714da2d7779117cf6a7 upstream.

It's always bothered me that we only disable preemption in
copy_user_page around the call to flush_dcache_page_asm.
This patch extends this to after the copy.
