[PATCHv4] arm: Preserve the user r/w register TPIDRURW on context switch and fork

Since commit 6a1c53124aa1 the user writeable TLS register was zeroed to
prevent it from being used as a covert channel between two tasks.
There are more and more applications coming to WinRT, Wine could support them,
but mostly they expect to have the thread environment block (TEB) in TPIDRURW.
This patch preserves that register per thread instead of clearing it.
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(). To avoid this we must always read
TPIDRURW in copy_thread.

This patch is against a86d52667d8eda5de39393ce737794403bdce1eb
Why so much Signed-off-bys? Some History:
The first patch had performance issues pointed out by Russel King,
so Will Deacon jumped in to help me with that. The second one again
had performance issues and the missing copy_thread part was uncovered.
After some iterations by me, Jonathan Austin proposed a patch and
Russel King sent his idea of the assembler part. All this was finally
merged and refined into this patch.
Thanks to everyone!
