[PATCH 4/5] arm64: rework FPAC exception handling

If an FPAC exception is taken from EL1, the entry code will call
do_ptrauth_fault(), where due to:

	BUG_ON(!user_mode(regs))

... the kernel will report a problem within do_ptrauth_fault() rather
than reporting the original context the FPAC exception was taken from.
The pt_regs and ESR value reported will be from within
do_ptrauth_fault() and the code dump will be for the BRK in BUG_ON(),
which isn't sufficient to debug the cause of the original exception.

This patch makes the reporting better by having separate EL0 and EL1
FPAC exception handlers, with the latter calling die() directly to
report the original context the FPAC exception was taken from.

Note that we only need to prevent kprobes of the EL1 FPAC handler, since
the EL0 FPAC handler cannot be called recursively.

For consistency with do_el0_svc*(), I've named the split functions
do_el{0,1}_fpac() rather than do_el{0,1}_ptrauth_fault(). I've also
clarified the comment to not imply there are casues other than FPAC
exceptions.

Prior to this patch FPAC exceptions are reported as:
