Unfortunately the merge resolution broke the build for arm64 -- could
you please apply the fixup below? IIUC that matches what we did in
linux-next, and builds fine locally.

Thanks,
Mark.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: make _TIF_WORK_MASK bits contiguous

We need the bits of _TIF_WORK_MASK to be contiguous in order to to use
this as an immediate argument to an AND instruction in entry.S.

We happened to change these bits in commits:

  b5a5a01d8e9a44ec ("arm64: uaccess: remove addr_limit_user_check()")
  192caabd4dd92c98 ("arm64: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL")

... which each worked in isolation, but the merge resolution in commit:

  005b2a9dc819a126 ("Merge tag 'tif-task_work.arch-2020-12-14' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block")

... happened to make the bits non-contiguous.

Fix this by moving TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL to be bit 6, which is contiguous
with the rest of _TIF_WORK_MASK.

Otherwise, we'll get a build-time failure as below:

| arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
| arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:733: Error: immediate out of range at operand 3 -- `and x2,x19,#((1<<1)|(1<<0)|(1<<2)|(1<<3)|(1<<4)|(1<<5)|(1<<7))'
