[IA64] - Reduce overhead of FP exception logging messages
Improve the scalability of the fpswa code that rate-limits logging of messages. There are 2 distinctly different problems in this code. 1) If prctl is used to disable logging, last_time is never updated. The result is that fpu_swa_count is zeroed out on EVERY fp fault. This causes a very very hot cache line. The fix reduces the wallclock time of a 1024p FP exception test from 28734 sec to 19 sec!!! 2) On VERY large systems, excessive messages are logged because multiple cpus can each reset or increment fpu_swa_count at about the same time. The result is that hundreds of messages are logged each second. The fixes reduces the logging rate to ~1 per second.
