[PATCHv2] arm: Preserve TPIDRURW on context switch

Hi André,

Will pointed me at this thread and I had a look at fixing
this up yesterday by extending his original patch...

There are a few things about this that aren't quite right. Most
of the comments are cosmetic but there's an issue in copy_thread
that will result in incorrect behaviour, I think.

I've commented below inline and there's a patch at the bottom- can
you let me know if it works for you?

I tend to steer clear of asm that requires certain behaviour wrt
the flags, though in this case I think it's probably a sufficiently
self contained case to be okay...

This is different from the set_tls, which deals with both
tpidrurw and tpidruro, so the naming is a little inconsistent here...

A bit weird to have tpidrurw here but tls elsewhere - I
settled on tlsuser... (see below)

This isn't quite right - the re-reading of tpidrurw should
be independent of CLONE_SETTLS. We should update tpidrurw
from userspace in all cases.

The following is what I've been looking at/testing...
It works on V7 and I've build tested it for 1136 - I would've
sent it yesterday but was getting things set up for testing on
1136 (v6 not k)

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: tls: context switch user writeable TLS register
 TPIDRURW

Since commit 6a1c53124aa1 ("ARM: 7403/1: tls: remove covert channel via
TPIDRURW") we have zeroed the user writeable TLS register to prevent it
from being used as a covert channel between two tasks.

However, it turns out that the wine guys would rather we actually
switched the register so that WinRT applications can use it to store a
pointer to their `thread environment block (TEB)'.

This patch implements TPIDRURW context-switching for cpus implementing
the register. Unlike the TPIDRURO, which is already switched, the TPIDRURW
can be updated from userspace so needs careful treatment in the case that we
modify TPIDRURW and call fork(). If no context switch occurs between these
two events then the thread_info struct that we use to construct the child
will have the old, stale, TPIDRURW value. To avoid this we must always read
TPIDRURW in copy_thread.

This patch is extended from an earlier version by Will Deacon in order to:
- Save TPIDRURW at context switch
- Deal with the race condition described above, including adding C-getters
