The commit 38fd94b0 'arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1003' has
been added to fix the hardware bug but causing a system crash.
The value of the register x1 which contains 'struct mm_struct *'
should be preserved inside macro pre_ttbr0_update_workaround.

Macro pre_ttbr0_update_workaround expects 2nd and 3rd arguments
are temporary registers. Don't clobber register x1, Otherwise
the next load operation 'mmid x1 x1' access the invalid address.
