[PATCH] m32r: fix sys_tas system call for m32r

This patch fixes a sys_tas system call for m32r.

- This patch fixes an Oops at sys_tas() in case CONFIG_SMP && CONFIG_PREEMPT.
  > Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address XXXXXXXX

  It is because a page fault happens at the spin_locked region in sys_tas()
  and in_atomic() checks preempt_count, but spin_lock() already counts up
  the preemt_count.

- sys_tas() is used for user-level mutual exclusion for the m32r,
  which is prepared to implement a linuxthreads library.
  The above problem may be happened in a program, which uses
  pthread_mutex_lock(), calls sys_tas().

  The current m32r instruction set has no user-level locking
  functions for mutual exclusion.
  # I hope it will be fixed in the future...

- This patch fixes the problem by using _raw_spin_lock() instead of
  spin_lock().  spin_lock() increments up preemt_count, on the contrary,
  _raw_sping_lock() does not.

  # I think this fix is just a temporary work around, and
  # it is preferable to be rewrite to make it simpler by using 
  # asm() function or something...
