[PATCHv5] arm64: Handle el1 synchronous instruction aborts cleanly

[Laura Abbott]

Executing from a non-executable area gives an ugly message:

lkdtm: Performing direct entry EXEC_RODATA
lkdtm: attempting ok execution at ffff0000084c0e08
lkdtm: attempting bad execution at ffff000008880700
Bad mode in Synchronous Abort handler detected on CPU2, code 0x8400000e -- IABT (current EL)
CPU: 2 PID: 998 Comm: sh Not tainted 4.7.0-rc2+ #13
Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT)
task: ffff800077e35780 ti: ffff800077970000 task.ti: ffff800077970000
PC is at lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing+0x0/0x8
LR is at execute_location+0x74/0x88

The 'IABT (current EL)' indicates the error but it's a bit cryptic
without knowledge of the ARM ARM. There is also no indication of the
specific address which triggered the fault. The increase in kernel
page permissions makes hitting this case more likely as well.
Handling the case in the vectors gives a much more familiar looking
error message:

lkdtm: Performing direct entry EXEC_RODATA
lkdtm: attempting ok execution at ffff0000084c0840
lkdtm: attempting bad execution at ffff000008880680
