3.11.10.1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Marc Zyngier <Marc.Zyngier at arm.com>
commit e16b31bf47738f4498d7ce632e12d7d2a6a2492a upstream.
The exception handling code fails to clear the IT state, potentially
leading to incorrect execution of the fixup if the size of the IT
block is more than one.
Let fixup_exception do the IT sanitizing if a fixup has been found,
and restore CPSR from the stack when returning from a data abort.
