Mark Rutland 3e3934176a arm64: entry: cleanup sp_el0 manipulation
The kernel stashes the current task struct in sp_el0 so that this can be
acquired consistently/cheaply when required. When we take an exception
from EL0 we have to:

1) stash the original sp_el0 value
2) find the current task
3) update sp_el0 with the current task pointer

Currently steps #1 and #2 occur in one place, and step #3 a while later.
As the value of sp_el0 is immaterial between these points, let's move
them together to make the code clearer and minimize ifdeffery. This
necessitates moving the comment for MDSCR_EL1.SS.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
