[PATCH v3 4/4] kselftests/arm64: add PAuth tests for single threaded consistency and differently initialized keys

From: Boyan Karatotev <boyan.karatotev at arm.com>

PAuth adds 5 different keys that can be used to sign addresses.

Add a test that verifies that the kernel initializes them to different
values and preserves them across context switches.
