Hmmm... given that, it looks like if we bail out in swsusp_arch_resume()
after the call to create_safe_exec_page(), we may return to userspace
with a corrupted TTBR0.
We probably need to defer the call to create_safe_exec_page() after the
other potential failure sites so as to avoid that.
Looking around it's not clear to me how/where the get_safe_page()
allocations are cleaned up when a failure occurs.
Thanks,
Mark.
