Subject: [PATCH v5 14/32] ARM: use TLS register for 'current' on !SMP as well

Enable the use of the TLS register to hold the 'current' pointer also on
non-SMP configurations that target v6k or later CPUs. This will permit
the use of THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK as well as IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks
for such configurations.
