[PATCH 3.19 70/75] arm64: Use the reserved TTBR0 if context switching to the init_mm

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

commit e53f21bce4d35a93b23d8fa1a840860f6c74f59e upstream.

The idle_task_exit() function may call switch_mm() with next ==
&init_mm. On arm64, init_mm.pgd cannot be used for user mappings, so
this patch simply sets the reserved TTBR0.
