Add a m68k-only set_fc helper to set the SFC and DFC registers for the
few places that need to override it for special MM operations, but
disconnect that from the deprecated kernel-wide set_fs() API.
Note that the SFC/DFC registers are context switched, so there is no need
to disable preemption.
Partially based on an earlier patch from
Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>.

sigreturn has to deal with an unpleasant problem - exception stack frames
have different sizes, depending upon the exception (and processor model, as
well) and variable-sized part of exception frame may contain information
needed for instruction restart. So when signal handler terminates and calls
sigreturn to resume the execution at the place where we'd been when we caught
the signal, it has to rearrange the frame at the bottom of kernel stack.
Worse, it might need to open a gap in the kernel stack, shifting pt_regs
towards lower addresses.
Doing that from C is insane - we'd need to shift stack frames (return addresses,
local variables, etc.) of C call chain, right under the nose of compiler and
hope it won't fall apart horribly. What had been actually done is only slightly
less insane - an inline asm in mangle_kernel_stack() moved the stuff around,
then reset stack pointer and jumped to label in asm glue.
However, we can avoid all that mess if the asm wrapper we have to use anyway
would reserve some space on the stack between switch_stack and the C stack
frame of do_{rt_,}sigreturn(). Then C part can simply memmove() pt_regs +
switch_stack, memcpy() the variable part of exception frame into the opened
gap - all of that without inline asm, buggering C call chain, magical jumps
to asm labels, etc.
Asm wrapper would need to know where the moved switch_stack has ended up -
it might have been shifted into the gap we'd reserved before do_rt_sigreturn()
call. That's where it needs to set the stack pointer to. So let the C part
return just that and be done with that.
While we are at it, the call of berr_040cleanup() we need to do when
returning via 68040 bus error exception frame can be moved into C part
as well.

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same functionality which today
depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.
Switch the entry code over to use CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

Quite a few of the ColdFire specific support files have a pathname in the
title comments of the file. These files have moved around a bit over the
years, and most are no longer accurate. Remove the pathname and fix the
comments to include at least a short description of the files contents.

Move the m68k ColdFire platform support code directory to be with the
existing m68k platforms. Although the ColdFire is not a platform as such,
we have always kept all its support together. No reason to change that
as this time.
