[PATCH v7 09/11] arch/arm64: enable task isolation functionality

We need to call task_isolation_enter() from prepare_exit_to_usermode(),
so that we can both ensure we do it last before returning to
userspace, and we also are able to re-run signal handling, etc.,
if something occurs while task_isolation_enter() has interrupts
enabled.  To do this we add _TIF_NOHZ to the _TIF_WORK_MASK if
we have CONFIG_TASK_ISOLATION enabled, which brings us into
prepare_exit_to_usermode() on all return to userspace.  But we
don't put _TIF_NOHZ in the flags that we use to loop back and
recheck, since we don't need to loop back only because the flag
is set.  Instead we unconditionally call task_isolation_enter()
at the end of the loop if any other work is done.

To make the assembly code continue to be as optimized as before,
we renumber the _TIF flags so that both _TIF_WORK_MASK and
_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK still have contiguous runs of bits in the
immediate operand for the "and" instruction, as required by the
ARM64 ISA.  Since TIF_NOHZ is in both masks, it must be the
middle bit in the contiguous run that starts with the
_TIF_WORK_MASK bits and ends with the _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK bits.

We tweak syscall_trace_enter() slightly to carry the "flags"
value from current_thread_info()->flags for each of the tests,
rather than doing a volatile read from memory for each one.  This
avoids a small overhead for each test, and in particular avoids
that overhead for TIF_NOHZ when TASK_ISOLATION is not enabled.

Also, we have to add an explicit check for STRICT mode in
do_mem_abort() to handle the case of page faults, since arm64
does not use the exception_enter() mechanism.
