[RFC PATCH 3/3] livepatch: arm64: add support for livepatch on arm64

This patch add support for livepach on arm64 based on the gcc
-fprolog-pad feature (that always placing one nop at the beginning
of the function). And when enable/disable func patching, just
modify the pad code to nop or branch. And that NOP and B instruction
are both safe instructions on arm64 which called "concurrent
modification and execution of instructions", that can be executed
by one thread of execution as they are being modified by another
thread of execution without requiring explicit synchronization.
