As the kbuild robot reported, you can't do this. For ARM, it's unknown
what the value stored for r13 will be, and for a Thumb-2 kernel the
whole instruction is flat out unpredictable (i.e. it might just undef or
anything).

Again, the value of SP at this point is now unknown (regardless of
whether what the value on memory was correct or not). Not good.

Either use non-writeback addressing modes, or avoid saving/restoring SP
at all (AFAICS it isn't necessary, since if the SP was changed in
between, you then wouldn't know where to restore the saved registers
from anyway).
