[RFC PATCH 4/6] arm64: mm: add helper to fill execmem with trapping instructions

[Adrian Barnaś]

Implement the architecture-specific execmem_fill_trapping_insns() helper
to poison executable memory regions.

When CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_EXECMEM_ROX is enabled, the execmem subsystem
requires a way to fill unused or freed executable memory with
architecture-specific trapping instructions. This implementation fills
the specified region with AARCH64_BREAK_FAULT instructions and flushes
the icache to ensure the traps are immediately visible to execution.
