[RFC PATCH 1/8] Revert "arm: remove unused restart trampoline"

This reverts commit fa18484d0947b976a769d15c83c50617493c81c1.

We need the restart trampoline back so that we can revert a related
problematic patch 6b5c8045ecc7e726cdaa2a9d9c8e5008050e1252 ("arm: new
way of handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK").
