[PATCH] ARM: Thumb2: avoid __builtin_thread_pointer() on Clang

[Ard Biesheuvel]

If available, we use the __builtin_thread_pointer() helper to get the
value of the TLS register, to help the compiler understand that it
doesn't need to reload it every time we access 'current'.

Unfortunately, Clang fails to emit the MRC system register read
directly when building for Thumb2, and instead, it issues a call to the
__aeabi_read_tp helper, which the kernel does not provide, and so this
result in link failures at build time.

So create a special case for this, and emit the MRC directly using an
asm() block, just like we do when the helper is not available to begin
with.
