arm64: ptrace: Flush user-RW TLS reg to thread_struct before reading
When reading current's user-writable TLS register (which occurs
when dumping core for native tasks), it is possible that userspace
has modified it since the time the task was last scheduled out.
The new TLS register value is not guaranteed to have been written
immediately back to thread_struct in this case.
As a result, a coredump can capture stale data for this register.
Reading the register for a stopped task via ptrace is unaffected.
For native tasks, this patch explicitly flushes the TPIDR_EL0
register back to thread_struct before dumping when operating on
current, thus ensuring that coredump contents are up to date. For
compat tasks, the TLS register is not user-writable and so cannot
be out of sync, so no flush is required in compat_tls_get().
