[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 2/2] [POWERPC] spufs: fix rescheduling of non-runnable contexts

At present, we can hit the BUG_ON in __spu_update_sched_info by reading
the regs file of a context between two calls to spu_run. The
spu_release_saved called by spufs_regs_read() is resulting in the (now
non-runnable) context being placed back on the run queue, so the next
call to spu_run ends up in the bug condition.

This change uses the SPU_SCHED_SPU_RUN flag to only reschedule a context
if it's still in spu_run().
