[PATCH] arm64: Preserve the user r/w register tpidr_el0 on context switch and fork in compat mode

From: André Hentschel <nerv at dawncrow.de>

Since commit a4780adeefd042482f624f5e0d577bf9cdcbb760 the user writeable TLS
register on ARM is preserved per thread.

This patch does it analogous to the ARM patch, but for compat mode on ARM64.
