[ 063/127] arm64: dont kill the kernel on a bad esr from el0

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>

commit 9955ac47f4ba1c95ecb6092aeaefb40a22e99268 upstream.

Rather than completely killing the kernel if we receive an esr value we
can't deal with in the el0 handlers, send the process a SIGILL and log
the esr value in the hope that we can debug it. If we receive a bad esr
from el1, we'll die() as before.
