signal handling core calls show_regs() with preemption disabled which
on ARC takes mmap_sem for mm/vma access, causing lockdep splat.

Workaround by re-enabling preemption temporarily.
Note that the preemption disabling in core code around show_regs()
was introduced by commit 3a9f84d ("signals, debug: fix BUG: using
smp_processor_id() in preemptible code in print_fatal_signal()")
to silence a differnt lockdep seen on x86 bakc in 2009.
