While working on some stacktrace and noinstr cleanups, I spotted that
we're doing a bunch of redundant work to strip PACs from pointers which
have already been stripped. Further, for historical reasons we use C
code to strip PACs when we can easily use XPACLRI.
These patches clean up the PAC stripping, removing the redundant work
and making better use of XPACLRI to strip PACs in the kernel.
Thanks,
Mark.
