[PATCH v3 3/7] arm64/Kconfig: add LSUI Kconfig

Since Armv9.6, FEAT_LSUI supplies the load/store instructions for
previleged level to access to access user memory without clearing
PSTATE.PAN bit.
It's enough to add CONFIG_AS_HAS_LSUI only because the code for LUSI uses
indiviual `.arch_extension` entries.
