[RFC PATCH 1/3] arm64: entry: Remove unnecessary calculation for S_SP in EL1h

From: Jungseok Lee
Date: Fri Sep 04 2015 - 10:24:32 EST


Under EL1h, S_SP data is not seen in kernel_exit. Thus, x21 calculation
is not needed in kernel_entry. Currently, S_SP information is vaild only
when sp_el0 is used.
