[PATCH] arm64/boot: Enable EL2 requirements for BRBE

Fine grained trap control for BRBE registers, and instructions access need
to be configured in HDFGRTR_EL2, HDFGWTR_EL2 and HFGITR_EL2 registers when
kernel enters at EL1 but EL2 is present. This changes __init_el2_fgt() as
required.

Similarly cycle and mis-prediction capture need to be enabled in BRBCR_EL1
and BRBCR_EL2 when the kernel enters either into EL1 or EL2. This adds new
__init_el2_brbe() to achieve this objective.

This also updates Documentation/arch/arm64/booting.rst with all the above
EL2 along with MDRC_EL3.SBRBE requirements.

First this replaces an existing hard encoding (1 << 62) with corresponding
applicable macro HDFGRTR_EL2_nPMSNEVFR_EL1_MASK.

Booting requirement code has been separated out from the main driver and
this has been slightly tested, will be added as a separate patch in the
next version.
