[GIT PULL] arm64 fixes for 4.18-rc5

[GIT PULL] arm64 fixes for 4.18-rc5

[Will Deacon]

Hi Linus,

Catalin's out enjoying the sunshine, so I'm sending the fixes for a couple
of weeks (although there hopefully won't be any more!). Summary is in the
tag, but we've got a revert of a previous fix because it broke the build
with some distro toolchains and a preemption fix when detemining whether
or not the SIMD unit is in use.

Please pull. Thanks,

Will

Never fear, I'm sure there won't be more than a couple of weeks of
sunshine in the UK this summer.

That's what you were trying to say, right?

FYI: Northern Europe has been exceptionally warm this summer.
