ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee register state during exec
The TPIDRURO and TPIDRURW registers need to be flushed during exec; otherwise TLS information is potentially leaked. TPIDRURO in particular needs careful treatment. Since flush_thread basically needs the same code used to set the TLS in arm_syscall, pull that into a common set_tls helper in tls.h and use it in both places. Similarly, TEEHBR needs to be cleared during exec as well. Clearing its save slot in thread_info isn't right as there is no guarantee that a thread switch will occur before the new program runs. Just setting the register directly is sufficient.
