Subject: [PATCH] [SPARC]: Fix exec failures on sun4c.
This deals with a sun4c issue caused by commit b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba:
mm: variable length argument support.
The new way the code works means that sun4c_update_mmu_cache gets
called before a context has been selected, which results in invalid
operation of the underling mm code.
Simply ignoring update requests when there is no valid context solves
the problem.
