I tried to follow the discussion as well which resulted in the
following change, which matches how you interpreted it as well. It's
just for reference, you can trow away the patch here in favour of your
change by all means.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: make _TIF_WORK_MASK bits contiguous

As same as in commit 870d16757ba8 ("arm64: make _TIF_WORK_MASK bits
contiguous") in mainline, we need to make the bits of _TIF_WORK_MASK to
be contiguous in order to use this as an immediate argument to an AND
instruction in entry.S.

We shuffle these bits down-by-one keeping the existing contiguity after
inserting TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY.

Otherwise, omitting this change will result in a build failure as below:

    arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
    arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:763: Error: immediate out of range at operand 3 -- `and x2,x19,#((1<<1)|(1<<0)|(1<<2)|(1<<3)|(1<<4)|(1<<5)|(1<<6)|(1<<13)|(1<<7))'
