Permit the use of the TPIDRPRW system register for carrying the per-CPU offset in generic SMP configurations that also target non-SMP capable ARMv6 cores. This uses the SMP_ON_UP code patching framework to turn all TPIDRPRW accesses into reads/writes of entry #0 in the __per_cpu_offset array. While at it, switch over some existing direct TPIDRPRW accesses in asm code to invocations of a new helper that is patched in the same way when necessary. Note that CPU_V6+SMP without SMP_ON_UP results in a kernel that does not boot on v6 CPUs without SMP extensions, so add this dependency to Kconfig as well.

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.
