(IIUC) MOV32 is 2 cycles (MOVW, MOVT), and each TST above is 1 cycle
and each BNE is 1 cycle (when not taken). So:

mov32 r2, #_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK | _TIF_WORK_MASK
tst r1, r2
bne fast_work_pending

is 4 cycles and tst, bne, tst, bne is also 4 cycles. Would mov32 be
more readable (since it keeps the flags together)?
