[PATCH v2 1/3] arm64: mm: Support Common Not Private translations

Common Not Private (CNP) is a feature of ARMv8.2 extension which
allows translation table entries to be shared between different PEs in
the same inner shareable domain, so the hardware can use this fact to
optimise the caching of such entries in the TLB.

CNP occupies one bit in TTBRx_ELy and VTTBR_EL2, which advertises to
the hardware that the translation table entries pointed to by this
TTBR are the same as every PE in the same inner shareable domain for
which the equivalent TTBR also has CNP bit set. In case CNP bit is set
but TTBR does not point at the same translation table entries or a
given ASID and VMID, then the system is mis-configured, so the results
of translations are UNPREDICTABLE.

This patch adds support for Common Not Private translations on
different exceptions levels:

(1) For EL0 there are a few cases we need to care of changes in
    TTBR0_EL1:
    - a switch to idmap
    - software emulated PAN
    we rule out latter via Kconfig options and for the former we make
    sure that CNP is set for non-zero ASIDs only.

(2) For EL1 we postpone setting CNP till all cpus are up and rely on
    cpufeature framework to 1) patch the code which is sensitive to
    CNP and 2) update TTBR1_EL1 with CNP bit set. TTBR1_EL1 can be
    reprogrammed as result of hibernation or cpuidle (via __enable_mmu).
    cpuidle's path has been changed to restore CnP and for hibernation
    the code has been changed to save raw TTBR1_EL1 and blindly restore
    it on resume.
