[PATCH v8 1/6] arm64: kprobe: add checks for ARMv8.3-PAuth combined instructions

Currently the ARMv8.3-PAuth combined branch instructions (braa, retaa
etc.) are not simulated for out-of-line execution with a handler. Hence the
uprobe of such instructions leads to kernel warnings in a loop as they are
not explicitly checked and fall into INSN_GOOD categories. Other combined
instructions like LDRAA and LDRBB can be probed.

The issue of the combined branch instructions is fixed by adding
group definitions of all such instructions and rejecting their probes.
The instruction groups added are br_auth(braa, brab, braaz and brabz),
blr_auth(blraa, blrab, blraaz and blrabz), ret_auth(retaa and retab) and
eret_auth(eretaa and eretab).
