[PATCH 14/14] arm64/fpsimd: signal: Simplify preserve_tpidr2_context()

[Mark Rutland]

During a context-switch, tls_thread_switch() reads and writes a task's
thread_struct::tpidr2_el0 field. Other code shouldn't access this field
for an active task, as such accesses would form a data-race with a
concurrent context-switch.

The usage in preserve_tpidr2_context() is suspicious, but benign as any
race with a context switch will write the same value back to
current->thread.tpidr2_el0.

Make this clearer and match restore_tpidr2_context() by using a
temporary variable instead, avoiding the (benign) data-race.
