ARM: 8178/1: fix set_tls for !CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS 

Joachim Eastwood reports that commit fbfb872f5f "ARM: 8148/1: flush
TLS and thumbee register state during exec" causes a boot-time crash
on a Cortex-M4 nommu system:

The problem is that set_tls is attempting to clear the TLS location in
the kernel-user helper page, which isn't set up on V7M.

Fix this by guarding the write to the kuser helper page with
a CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS ifdef.
