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.

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
