arm,sim: fix context switch stats dumps for ARM64/Linux

32bit and 64bit Linux have different arguments passed to the
__switch_to() function that gem5 hooks into in order to collect context
switch statistics. 64bit Linux provides the task_struct pointer to the
next task that will be switched to, which means we don't have to look
up the task_struct from thread_info as we do in 32bit ARM Linux.

This patch adds a second set of accessors to ThreadInfo to extract
details such as the pid, tgid, task name, etc., directly from a
task_struct. The existing accessors maintain their existing behavior by
first looking up the task_struct and then calling these new accessors.

A 64-bit variant of the DumpStatsPCEvent class is added that uses these
new accessors to get the task details for the context switch dumps
directly from the task_struct passed to __switch_to().
