[PATCH RFC 03/10] arm64, kfence: enable KFENCE for ARM64

Add architecture specific implementation details for KFENCE and enable
KFENCE for the arm64 architecture. In particular, this implements the
required interface in <asm/kfence.h>. Currently, the arm64 version does
not yet use a statically allocated memory pool, at the cost of a pointer
load for each is_kfence_address().

For ARM64, we would like to solicit feedback on what the best option is
to obtain a constant address for __kfence_pool. One option is to declare
a memory range in the memory layout to be dedicated to KFENCE (like is
done for KASAN), however, it is unclear if this is the best available
option. We would like to avoid touching the memory layout.
