[PATCH 1/1] arm64/entry.S: check for stack overflow in el1 case only

From: Maninder Singh
Date: Fri Dec 11 2020 - 04:21:34 EST


current code checks for sp bit flip in all exceptions,
but only el1 exceptions requires this. el0 can not enter
into stack overflow case directly.

it will improve performance for el0 exceptions and interrupts.
