[PATCH] arm: fix text section corruption

When CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN is enabled, there are 9 registers being
pushed into stack in save_regs, but in fixup it still consider there are
8 registers in stack, which is the case of CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN
disabled.
When fixup being executed, -EFAULT will be written to the text section.

In fixup:
mov	r4, #-EFAULT
/*
 * When CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN enabled, r5 will load the value stored by
 * lr in save_regs, which is the address of instruction in text section.
 */
ldr	r5, [sp,#8*4]	@err_ptr
/*
 * This will write -EFAULT(0xfffffff2) to r5, which points to text section
 * now, and when function returns, it will use 0xfffffff2 as an
 * instruction, then undefined instruction occurs.
 */
str	r4, [r5]
