We can avoid the USER_DS change as long as SET_PERSONALITY updates the
thread's addr_limit. There are very few explicit set_fs(USER_DS) calls
and they are on the thread exit path (or exec).

That's unless we try to make a generic set_fs(USER_DS) addition to
something like setup_new_exec() and we wouldn't need the SET_PERSONALITY
changes:

Why did you dropped tp_value initialisation? Context switching on native
64-bit tasks rely on copying the tpidr_el0 in and out of tp_value.
However, compat tasks use the read-only tpidrro_el0 register set
explicitly via a system call. Until this call happens, the TLS register
would contain some garbage after the thread has been switched back in.
