[ARM] 5416/1: Use unused address in v6_early_abort
The target of the strex instruction to clear the exlusive monitor is currently the top of the stack. If the store succeeeds this corrupts r0 in pt_regs. Use the next stack location instead of the current one to prevent any chance of corrupting an in-use address.
