gru: fix istatus race in GRU tlb dropin
TLB dropins require updates to the CBR instruction istatus field. This is
needed to resolve race conditions in the chip.
The code currently uses the user address of the CBR. This works but opens
up additional endcases related to stealing of contexts and accessing the
CBR from tasks that do not have access to the user address space. (Some
of this non-user task access is debug code that is not currently being
pushed to the community).
User CBRs are also directly accessible using the kernel mapping of the
CBR. Change the TLB dropin code to use the the kernel mapping of the CBR.
