[PATCH v3 2/3] arm64: sysreg: Correct sign definitions for EIESB and DoubleLock

The `ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.EIESB` field, is an unsigned enumeration, but was
incorrectly defined as a `SignedEnum` when introduced in commit
cfc680bb04c5 ("arm64: sysreg: Add layout for ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1"). This is
corrected to `UnsignedEnum`.

Conversely, the `ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.DoubleLock` field, is a signed
enumeration, but was incorrectly defined as an `UnsignedEnum`. This is
corrected to `SignedEnum`, which wasn't correctly set when annotated as
such in commit ad16d4cf0b4f ("arm64/sysreg: Initial unsigned annotations
for ID registers").

Note: No active users in the kernel for these two fields yet. pKVM
checks DoubleLock, but only for protected VMs, which aren't enabled
upstream yet. Hence no Fixes tag.
