I'm a little unhappy about factoring this out, since it's not really
self-contained and leaves sp and x0 partially-swapped when it branches
to the label. You can't really make that clear with comments on the
macro, and you need comments at each use-sire, so I'd ratehr we just
open-coded a copy of this.

Further to my comment above, immediately after this we have:

        /* Stash the original SP (minus PT_REGS_SIZE) in tpidr_el0. */
        msr     tpidr_el0, x0

        /* Recover the original x0 value and stash it in tpidrro_el0 */
        sub     x0, sp, x0
        msr     tpidrro_el0, x0

... which is really surprising with the `test_sp_overflow` macro because
it's not clear that modifies x0 and sp in this way.

Thanks,
Mark.
