Subject: [PATCH v3] arm64: Fix kernel panic() in cpu_do_switch_mm() on QDF2400

The commit 38fd94b0275c 'arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1003' has
been added to fix the hardware bug but causes a system crash. The
value of the register x1 which contains 'struct mm_struct *' should
be preserved inside macro pre_ttbr0_update_workaround.

Macro pre_ttbr0_update_workaround expects 2nd and 3rd arguments are
temporary registers. Don't clobber register x1, Otherwise the next
load operation 'mmid x1 x1' access the invalid address.
