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.
