ARM: 7442/1: Revert "remove unused restart trampoline"
This reverts commit fa18484d0947b976a769d15c83c50617493c81c1. We need the restart trampoline back so that we can revert a related problematic patch 6b5c8045ecc7e726cdaa2a9d9c8e5008050e1252 ("arm: new way of handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK"). Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
