arm64: entry: prepare ret_to_user for function call

In a subsequent patch ret_to_user will need to make a C function call
(in some configurations) which may clobber x0-x18 at the start of the
finish_ret_to_user block, before enable_step_tsk consumes the flags
loaded into x1.

In preparation for this, let's load the flags into x19, which is
preserved across C function calls. This avoids a redundant reload of the
flags and ensures we operate on a consistent shapshot regardless.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. At this
point of the entry/exit paths we only need to preserve x28 (tsk) and the
sp, and x19 is free for this use.
