Subject: arm64: assembler: add cond_yield macro
Git-commit: d13c613f136c9090f3863c49b2306d57ab59feba
Patch-mainline: v5.12-rc1
References: git-fixes
Add a macro cond_yield that branches to a specified label when called if
the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is set and decreasing the preempt count would
make the task preemptible again, resulting in a schedule to occur. This
can be used by kernel mode SIMD code that keeps a lot of state in SIMD
registers, which would make chunking the input in order to perform the
cond_resched() check from C code disproportionately costly.
