arm64: assembler: add macros to conditionally yield the NEON under PREEMPT
Add support macros to conditionally yield the NEON (and thus the CPU) that may be called from the assembler code. In some cases, yielding the NEON involves saving and restoring a non trivial amount of context (especially in the CRC folding algorithms), and so the macro is split into three, and the code in between is only executed when the yield path is taken, allowing the context to be preserved. The third macro takes an optional label argument that marks the resume path after a yield has been performed.

+ * the provided patchup code, will be omitted from the image if CONFIG_PREEMPT
+ * is not defined.
+ *
+ * As a convenience, in the case where no patchup code is required, the above
+ * sequence may be abbreviated to
+ *
+ * cond_yield_neon <label>
+ *
+ * Note that the patchup code does not support assembler directives that change
+ * the output section, any use of such directives is undefined.
+ *
+ * The yield itself consists of the following:
+ * - Check whether the preempt count is exactly 1, in which case disabling
+ * preemption once will make the task preemptible. If this is not the case,
+ * yielding is pointless.
+ * - Check whether TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, and if so, disable and re-enable
+ * kernel mode NEON (which will trigger a reschedule), and branch to the
+ * yield fixup code.
+ *
+ * This macro sequence may clobber all CPU state that is not guaranteed by the
+ * AAPCS to be preserved across an ordinary function call.
