[PATCH v5 15/32] ARM: smp: defer TPIDRURO update for SMP v6 configurations too

Defer TPIDURO updates for user space until exit also for CPU_V6+SMP
configurations so that we can decide at runtime whether to use it to
carry the current pointer, provided that we are running on a CPU that
actually implements this register. This is needed for
THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support for UP systems, which requires that all SMP
capable systems use the TPIDRURO based access to 'current' as the only
remaining alternative will be a global variable which only works on UP.

Given that SMP implies support for HWCAP_TLS, we can patch away the
hwcap test entirely from the context switch path rather than just the
TPIDRURO assignment when running on SMP hardware.
