arm64: __clear_user: handle exceptions on strb

ARM64 currently doesn't fix up faults on the single-byte (strb) case of
__clear_user... which means that we can cause a nasty kernel panic as an
ordinary user with any multiple PAGE_SIZE+1 read from /dev/zero.
i.e.: dd if=/dev/zero of=foo ibs=1 count=1 (or ibs=65537, etc.)

This is a pretty obscure bug in the general case since we'll only
__do_kernel_fault (since there's no extable entry for pc) if the
mmap_sem is contended. However, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, we'll
always fault.

if (!down_read_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) {
	if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->pc))
		goto no_context;
retry:
	down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
} else {
	/*
	 * The above down_read_trylock() might have succeeded in
	 * which
	 * case, we'll have missed the might_sleep() from
	 * down_read().
	 */
	might_sleep();
	if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->pc))
		goto no_context;
}

Fix that by adding an extable entry for the strb instruction, since it
touches user memory, similar to the other stores in __clear_user.
