Mark Rutland 8586831317 ARM: 8128/1: abort: don't clear the exclusive monitors 
The ARMv6 and ARMv7 early abort handlers clear the exclusive monitors
upon entry to the kernel, but this is redundant:

  - We clear the monitors on every exception return since commit
    200b812d00 ("Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an
    exception"), so this is not necessary to ensure the monitors are
    cleared before returning from a fault handler.

  - Any dummy STREX will target a temporary scratch area in memory, and
    may succeed or fail without corrupting useful data. Its status value
    will not be used.

  - Any other STREX in the kernel must be preceded by an LDREX, which
    will initialise the monitors consistently and will not depend on the
    earlier state of the monitors.

Therefore we have no reason to care about the initial state of the
exclusive monitors when a data abort is taken, and clearing the monitors
prior to exception return (as we already do) is sufficient.

This patch removes the redundant clearing of the exclusive monitors from
the early abort handlers.
