Mark Rutland 2fe2b96c38 arm64/fpsimd: signal: Simplify preserve_tpidr2_context()
During a context-switch, tls_thread_switch() reads and writes a task's
thread_struct::tpidr2_el0 field. Other code shouldn't access this field
for an active task, as such accesses would form a data-race with a
concurrent context-switch.

The usage in preserve_tpidr2_context() is suspicious, but benign as any
race with a context switch will write the same value back to
current->thread.tpidr2_el0.

Make this clearer and match restore_tpidr2_context() by using a
temporary variable instead, avoiding the (benign) data-race.

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.
