MIPS: Handle __put_user() sleeping.

do_signal() does __put_user() which can fault, resulting in a might_sleep()
warning in down_read(&mm->mmap_sem) and a "scheduling while atomic" warning
when mmap_sem is contented. On Swarm this also results in:

Fixed by enabling interrupts in do_notify_resume before delivering signals.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Reported and original fix by tglx but I wanted to
minimize the amount of code being run with interrupts disabled so I moved
the local_irq_disable() call right into do_notify_resume.  Which is saner
than doing it in entry.S.]
