[PATCH v3] arm64: errata: Fix exec handling in erratum 1418040 workaround

The erratum 1418040 workaround changes vct access trapping when switching
between compat and non-compat threads. The workaround logic assumes that
the hardware vct trapping state matches the previous task's compat-ness.
However, when a non-compat task execs a compat binary or vice versa, the
cntkctl state and task compat-ness get out of sync. Keep the hardware
trapping state in sync with the task personality.

v3: - Un-nest conditionals (Marc)
v2: - Use sysreg_clear_set instead of open coding (Marc)
- guard this_cpu_has_cap() check under IS_ENABLED() to avoid tons of
WARN_ON(preemptible()) when built with !CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_1418040
