If an exception occurs in the middle of a "critical section" where POR_EL1 is set to a privileged value, it is preferable to reset it to its default value upon taking the exception to minimise the amount of code running at higher kpkeys level. This patch implements the reset of POR_EL1 on exception entry, storing the original value in a new pt_regs field and restoring on exception return. To avoid an expensive ISB, the register is only reset if the interrupted value isn't the default. No check is made on the return path as an ISB occurs anyway as part of ERET.
