Mark Rutland 124c49b1b5 arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling

Support for deprecated instructions can be enabled or disabled at
runtime. To handle this, the code in armv8_deprecated.c registers and
unregisters undef_hooks, and makes cross CPU calls to configure HW
support. This is rather complicated, and the synchronization required to
make this safe ends up serializing the handling of instructions which
have been trapped.

This patch simplifies the deprecated instruction handling by removing
the dynamic registration and unregistration, and changing the trap
handling code to determine whether a handler should be invoked. This
removes the need for dynamic list management, and simplifies the locking
requirements, making it possible to handle trapped instructions entirely
in parallel.

Where changing the emulation state requires a cross-call, this is
serialized by locally disabling interrupts, ensuring that the CPU is not
left in an inconsistent state.

To simplify sysctl management, each insn_emulation is given a separate
sysctl table, permitting these to be registered separately. The core
sysctl code will iterate over all of these when walking sysfs.

I've tested this with userspace programs which use each of the
deprecated instructions, and I've concurrently modified the support
level for each of the features back-and-forth between HW and emulated to
check that there are no spurious SIGILLs sent to userspace when the
support level is changed.
