[PATCH 03/18] arm64: introduce sysreg_clear_set()

Currently we have a couple of helpers to manipulate bits in particular
sysregs:

 * config_sctlr_el1(u32 clear, u32 set)

 * change_cpacr(u64 val, u64 mask)

The parameters of these differ in naming convention, order, and size,
which is unfortunate. They also differ slightly in behaviour, as
change_cpacr() skips the sysreg write if the bits are unchanged, which
is a useful optimization when sysreg writes are expensive.

Before we gain more yet another sysreg manipulation function, let's
unify these with a common helper, providing a consistent order for
clear/set operands, and the write skipping behaviour from
change_cpacr(). Code will be migrated to the new helper in subsequent
patches.
