[PATCH] ARM: smp: set current pointer in assembly before jumping into C

[Karl Mehltretter]

With CONFIG_KCOV_INSTRUMENT_ALL=y, secondary CPUs fail to come online
on ARMv6K/ARMv7 SMP:

  CPU1: failed to boot: -38

The compiler inserts a call to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() at the entry
of secondary_start_kernel(), before set_current(task). The KCOV hook
dereferences current while TPIDRURO is still uninitialized, causing a
data abort before cpu_init() has installed the exception stacks. The
secondary CPU consequently never completes startup.

Initialize current in the secondary assembly handoff, as
__mmap_switched already does for the boot CPU.

Fixes: 50596b7559bf ("ARM: smp: Store current pointer in TPIDRURO register if available")

Tested on QEMU vexpress-a15 (mainline and v6.12) and
realview-eb-mpcore with and without CONFIG_KCOV_INSTRUMENT_ALL.

The head-nommu.S change is untested because no currently reachable
Kconfig combination enables non-MMU SMP.

The redundant set_current(task) is retained to keep the fix minimal.
