[PATCH v2 0/3] efi: Enable BTI for EFI runtimes services

The EFI spec v2.10 introduces a global flag in the memory attributes
table that indicates whether the EFI runtime code regions were emitted
with BTI landing pads, and can therefore tolerate being mapped with BTI
enforcement enabled.

Add the generic plumbing for this, and wire it up for arm64.

Changes since v1:
- enable BTI in UEFI code regions even if CONFIG_ARM64_BIT_KERNEL=n
- deal with BTI exceptions occuring in EFI code gracefully
- add equivalent handling to x86
- add Kees's R-b
