If we detect a corrupted x18 and SCS is enabled, restore the register
before jumping back to instrumented code. This is safe, because the
wrapper is called with preemption disabled and a separate shadow stack
is used for interrupt handling.

Why not restore it regardless of CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK?
