Shanker Donthineni ea6eac904f arm64: Avoid clobbering mm in erratum workaround on QDF2400
Commit 38fd94b0275c ("arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1003") tried to
work around a hardware erratum, but actually caused a system crash of
its own during switch_mm:

 cpu_do_switch_mm+0x20/0x40
 efi_virtmap_load+0x34/0x40
 virt_efi_get_next_variable+0x64/0xc8
 efivar_init+0x8c/0x348
 efisubsys_init+0xd4/0x270
 do_one_initcall+0x80/0x110
 kernel_init_freeable+0x19c/0x240
 kernel_init+0x10/0x100
 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x50

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

In cpu_do_switch_mm, x1 contains the mm_struct pointer, which needs to
be preserved by the pre_ttbr0_update_workaround macro rather than passed
as a temporary.

This patch clobbers x2 and x3 instead, keeping the mm_struct intact
after the workaround has run.

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
