ARC: show_regs: lockdep: re-enable preemption
signal handling core calls show_regs() with preemption disabled which
on ARC takes mmap_sem for mm/vma access, causing lockdep splat.
| [ARCLinux]# ./segv-null-ptr
| potentially unexpected fatal signal 11.
| BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/fork.c:1011
| in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 70, name: segv-null-ptr
| no locks held by segv-null-ptr/70.

Workaround by re-enabling preemption temporarily.
Note that the preemption disabling in core code around show_regs()
was introduced by commit 3a9f84d354ce ("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.
