[IA64] Fix race condition in the rt_sigprocmask fastcall
current->blocked will be set to the value of current->thread_info->flags if the cmpxchg to update thread_info->flags fails. For performance reasons the store into current->blocked was placed in the cmpxchg loop. However, the cmpxchg overwrites the register holding the value to be stored. In the rare case of a retry the value of thread_info->flags will be written into current->blocked. The fix is to use another register so that the register containing the current->blocked value is not overwritten.
