[PATCH bpf-next v4 2/3] arm64: patching: Add aarch64_insn_copy()

This will be used by BPF JIT compiler to dump JITed binary to a RX huge
page, and thus allow multiple BPF programs sharing the a huge (2MB)
page.

The bpf_prog_pack allocator that implements the above feature allocates
a RX/RW buffer pair. The JITed code is written to the RW buffer and then
this function will be used to copy the code from RW to RX buffer.
