[PATCH] arm64: errata: Fix exec handling in erratum 1418040 workaround

The erratum 1418040 workaround changes vct access trapping when switching
between compat and non-compat threads. The workaround logic assumes that
the hardware vct trapping state matches the previous task's compat-ness.
However, when a non-compat task execs a compat binary or vice versa, the
cntkctl state and task compat-ness get out of sync. Keep the hardware
trapping state in sync with the task personality.
