[PATCH v7 4/6] arm64: cpufeature: Modify address authentication cpufeature to exact

The current address authentication cpufeature levels are set as LOWER_SAFE
which is not compatible with the different configurations added for Armv8.3
ptrauth enhancements as the different levels have different behaviour and
there is no tunable to enable the lower safe versions. This is rectified
by setting those cpufeature type as EXACT.

The current cpufeature framework also does not interfere in the booting of
non-exact secondary cpus but rather marks them as tainted. As a workaround
this is fixed by replacing the generic match handler with a new handler
specific to ptrauth.

After this change, if there is any variation in ptrauth configurations in
secondary cpus from boot cpu then those mismatched cpus are parked in an
infinite loop.

Following ptrauth crash log is oberserved in Arm fastmodel with mismatched
cpus without this fix,
