arm64: errata: Fix exec handling in erratum 1418040 workaround
The erratum 1418040 workaround enables CNTVCT_EL1 access trapping in EL0
when executing compat threads. The workaround is applied when switching
between tasks, but the need for the workaround could also change at an
exec(), when a non-compat task execs a compat binary or vice versa. Apply
the workaround in arch_setup_new_exec().
This leaves a small window of time between SET_PERSONALITY and
arch_setup_new_exec where preemption could occur and confuse the old
workaround logic that compares TIF_32BIT between prev and next. Instead, we
can just read cntkctl to make sure it's in the state that the next task
needs. I measured cntkctl read time to be about the same as a mov from a
general-purpose register on N1. Update the workaround logic to examine the
current value of cntkctl instead of the previous task's compat state.
