powerpc/spufs: Don't spu_acquire_saved unnecessarily in regs read
With most file readers (eg cat, dd), reading a context's regs file will result in two reads: the first to read the data, and the second to return EOF. Because each read performs a spu_acquire_saved, we end up descheduling and re-scheduling the context twice. This change does a simple check to see if we'd return EOF before calling spu_acquire_saved(), saving the extra schedule operation. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
