[PATCH v6 12/23] aarch64: Enable GCS in static linked exe

From: Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy@arm.com>

Use the ARCH_SETUP_TLS hook to enable GCS in the static linked case.
The system call must be inlined and then GCS is enabled on a top
level stack frame that does not return and has no exception handlers
above it.
