arm64/ptrace: Document extension of NT_ARM_TLS to cover TPIDR2_EL0

Browse source 
In order to allow debuggers to discover lazily saved SME state we need
to provide access to TPIDR2_EL0, we will extend the existing NT_ARM_TLS
used for TPIDR to also include TPIDR2_EL0 as the second register in the
regset.

been read if a PTRACE_GETREGSET of NT_ARM_ZA were executed for each thread
when the coredump was generated.
* The NT_ARM_TLS note will be extended to two registers, the second register
will contain TPIDR2_EL0 on systems that support SME and will be read as
zero with writes ignored otherwise.
