Daniel Borkmann 7005cade1b bpf, arm64: use separate register for state in stxr
Will reported that in BPF_XADD we must use a different register in stxr
instruction for the status flag due to otherwise CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE
behavior per architecture. Reference manual says [1]:

  If s == t, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

   * The instruction is UNDEFINED.
   * The instruction executes as a NOP.
   * The instruction performs the store to the specified address, but
     the value stored is UNKNOWN.

Thus, use a different temporary register for the status flag to fix it.

Disassembly extract from test 226/STX_XADD_DW from test_bpf.ko:

  [...]
  0000003c:  c85f7d4b  ldxr x11, [x10]
  00000040:  8b07016b  add x11, x11, x7
  00000044:  c80c7d4b  stxr w12, x11, [x10]
  00000048:  35ffffac  cbnz w12, 0x0000003c
