bpf, arm64: use separate register for state in stxr
Will reported that in BPF_XADD we must use a different register in stxr
instruction for the status flag due to otherwise CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE
behavior per architecture. Reference manual says [1]:
If s == t, then one of the following behaviors must occur:
* The instruction is UNDEFINED.
* The instruction executes as a NOP.
* The instruction performs the store to the specified address, but
the value stored is UNKNOWN.
Thus, use a different temporary register for the status flag to fix it.
Disassembly extract from test 226/STX_XADD_DW from test_bpf.ko:
