Kevin Brodsky 1a665a71ef arm64: signal: Remove ISB when resetting POR_EL0
POR_EL0 is set to its most permissive value before setting up the
signal frame, to ensure that uaccess succeeds regardless of the
signal stack's pkey.

We are now tolerant to spurious POE faults. This means that we do
not strictly need to issue an ISB after updating POR_EL0, even when
followed by uaccess. The question is whether a fault is likely to
happen or not if the ISB is omitted; in this case the answer seems
to be no. If the regular stack is used, then it should already be
accessible. If the alternate signal stack is used, then a special
(inaccessible) pkey may be used - the assumption is that this
situation is very uncommon.

Remove the ISB to speed up the regular path - this should not have
any functional impact regardless of the scenario.

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 reStructuredText 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.
