If a process wrote to POR_EL0 and then crashed before a context switch
happened, the coredump would contain an incorrect value for POR_EL0.

The value read in poe_get() would be a stale value left in thread.por_el0.  Fix
this by reading the value from the system register, if the target thread is the
current thread.

This matches what gcs/fpsimd do.
