Armv8.7 introduces single-copy atomic 64-byte loads and stores
instructions and its variants named under FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V}.
Add support for Armv8.7 FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V}:
- Add identifying and enabling in the cpufeature list
- Expose the support of these features to userspace through HWCAP3
  and cpuinfo
- Add related hwcap test
- Handle the trap of unsupported memory (normal/uncacheable) access in a VM

A real scenario for this feature is that the userspace driver can make use of
this to implement direct WQE (workqueue entry) - a mechanism to fill WQE
directly into the hardware.

Picked Marc's 2 patches form [1] for handling the LS64 trap in a VM on emulated
MMIO and the introduce of KVM_EXIT_ARM_LDST64B.

Tested with updated hwcap test:
[root at localhost tmp]# dmesg | grep "All CPU(s) started"
[   14.789859] CPU: All CPU(s) started at EL2
[root at localhost tmp]# ./hwcap
# LS64 present
ok 217 cpuinfo_match_LS64
ok 218 sigill_LS64
ok 219 # SKIP sigbus_LS64_V
# LS64_V present
ok 220 cpuinfo_match_LS64_V
ok 221 sigill_LS64_V
ok 222 # SKIP sigbus_LS64_V
# 115 skipped test(s) detected. Consider enabling relevant config options to improve coverage.
# Totals: pass:107 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:115 error:0

Change since v3:
- Inject DABT fault for LS64 fault on unsupported memory but with valid memslot
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250626080906.64230-1-yangyicong@huawei.com/

Change since v2:
- Handle the LS64 fault to userspace and allow userspace to inject LS64 fault
- Reorder the patches to make KVM handling prior to feature support
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250331094320.35226-1-yangyicong@huawei.com/

Change since v1:
- Drop the support for LS64_ACCDATA
- handle the DABT of unsupported memory type after checking the memory attributes
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20241202135504.14252-1-yangyicong@huawei.com/
