[PATCH v8 8/4] arm64: don't call C code with el0's fp register

[James Morse]

On entry from el0, we save all the registers on the kernel stack, and
restore them before returning. x29 remains unchanged when we call out
to C code, which will store x29 as the frame-pointer on the stack.

Instead, write 0 into x29 after entry from el0, to avoid any risk of
tracing into user space.
