ARM: 7384/1: ThumbEE: Disable userspace TEEHBR access for !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE

Browse source 
Currently when ThumbEE is not enabled (!CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE) the ThumbEE
register states are not saved/restored at context switch. The default state
of the ThumbEE Ctrl register (TEECR) allows userspace accesses to the
ThumbEE Base Handler register (TEEHBR). This can cause unexpected behaviour
when people use ThumbEE on !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE kernels, as well as allowing
covert communication - eg between userspace tasks running inside chroot
jails.

This patch sets up TEECR in order to prevent user-space access to TEEHBR
when !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE. In this case, tasks are sent SIGILL if they try to
access TEEHBR.
