[PATCH v2 5/9] arm64: asm: Introduce test_sp_overflow macro

From: Quentin Perret <qperret at google.com>

The asm entry code in the kernel uses a trick to check if VMAP'd stacks
have overflowed by aligning them at THREAD_SHIFT * 2 granularity and
checking the SP's THREAD_SHIFT bit.

Protected KVM will soon make use of a similar trick to detect stack
overflows, so factor out the asm code in a re-usable macro.
