Applied to arm64 (for-next/pac-set-get-enabled-keys).

Peter, can you please have a look and give it a try as part of the arm64
for-next/core branch? I rebased your patches on top of the
for-next/mte-async-kernel-mode branch as this was adding more code to
mte_thread_switch(), so I kept the function for now.

Thanks.
