[PATCH v2] arm64: lockdep: enable checks for held locks when returning to userspace

Currently arm64 doesn't use CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY and doesn't call
lockdep_sys_exit() when returning to userspace.
This means that lockdep won't check for held locks when
returning to userspace, which would be useful to detect kernel bugs.
Call lockdep_sys_exit() when returning to userspace,
enabling checking for held locks.
At the same time, rename arm64's prepare_exit_to_user_mode() to
exit_to_user_mode_prepare() to more clearly align with the naming
in the generic entry code.
