arm64: entry: fix context tracking for el0_sp_pc

Commit 6c81fe7925cc4c42 ("arm64: enable context tracking") did not
update el0_sp_pc to use ct_user_exit, but this appears to have been
unintentional. In commit 6ab6463aeb5fbc75 ("arm64: adjust el0_sync so
that a function can be called") we made x0 available, and in the return
to userspace we call ct_user_enter in the kernel_exit macro.

Due to this, we currently don't correctly inform RCU of the user->kernel
transition, and may erroneously account for time spent in the kernel as
if we were in an extended quiescent state when CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING
is enabled.

As we do record the kernel->user transition, a userspace application
making accesses from an unaligned stack pointer can demonstrate the
imbalance, provoking the following warning:

This patch adds the missing ct_user_exit to the el0_sp_pc entry path,
correcting the context tracking for this case.
