Mark Rutland da59f1d051 arm64: entry: simplify kernel_exit logic
For historical reasons, the non-KPTI exception return path is duplicated for
EL1 and EL0, with the structure:

	.if \el == 0
	[ KPTI handling ]
	ldr     lr, [sp, #S_LR]
 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp
	[ EL0 exception return workaround ]
	eret
	.else
	ldr     lr, [sp, #S_LR]
 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp
	[ EL1 exception return workaround ]
	eret
	.endif
	sb

This would be simpler and clearer with the common portions factored out,
e.g.

	.if \el == 0
	[ KPTI handling ]
	.endif

	ldr     lr, [sp, #S_LR]
 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp

	.if \el == 0
	[ EL0 exception return workaround ]
	.else
	[ EL1 exception return workaround ]
	.endif

	eret
	sb

This expands to the same code, but is simpler for a human to follow as
it avoids duplicates the restore of LR+SP, and makes it clear that the
ERET is associated with the SB.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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.
