ARM: 9292/1: vfp: Pass thread_info pointer to vfp_support_entry
Instead of dereferencing thread_info in do_vfp, pass the thread_info pointer to vfp_support_entry via R1. That way, we only use a single caller save register, which makes it easier to convert do_vfp to C code in a subsequent patch. Note that, unlike the CPU number, which can change due to preemption, passing the thread_info pointer can safely be done with preemption enabled.
