arm64: entry: prepare ret_to_user for function call
In a subsequent patch ret_to_user will need to make a C function call (in some configurations) which may clobber x0-x18 at the start of the finish_ret_to_user block, before enable_step_tsk consumes the flags loaded into x1. In preparation for this, let's load the flags into x19, which is preserved across C function calls. This avoids a redundant reload of the flags and ensures we operate on a consistent shapshot regardless. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. At this point of the entry/exit paths we only need to preserve x28 (tsk) and the sp, and x19 is free for this use.
