[PATCH v3 14/14] arm64: Remove logic to kill 32-bit tasks on 64-bit-only cores

From: Will Deacon
Date: Fri Nov 13 2020 - 04:38:33 EST


The scheduler now knows enough about these braindead systems to place
32-bit tasks accordingly, so throw out the safety checks and allow the
ret-to-user path to avoid do_notify_resume() if there is nothing to do.
