arm64: LLVMLinux: Calculate current_thread_info from current_stack_pointer
Use the global current_stack_pointer to get the value of the stack pointer.
This change supports being able to compile the kernel with both gcc and clang.

arm64: LLVMLinux: Add current_stack_pointer() for arm64
Define a global named register for current_stack_pointer. The use of this new
variable guarantees that both gcc and clang can access this register in C code.

arm64: enable context tracking
Make calls to ct_user_enter when the kernel is exited
and ct_user_exit when the kernel is entered (in el0_da,
el0_ia, el0_svc, el0_irq and all of the "error" paths).
These macros expand to function calls which will only work
properly if el0_sync and related code has been rearranged
(in a previous patch of this series).
The calls to ct_user_exit are made after hw debugging has been
enabled (enable_dbg_and_irq).
The call to ct_user_enter is made at the beginning of the
kernel_exit macro.
This patch is based on earlier work by Kevin Hilman.
Save/restore optimizations were also done by Kevin.

arm64: defer reloading a task's FPSIMD state to userland resume
If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched
its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload
it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time.
This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment,
i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to
userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved
and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the
same CPU.
This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_restore_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded
- fpsimd_flush_task_state -> invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state

arm64: Process management
The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The
context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support
patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports
ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable
via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).
