[PATCH v15 1/8] arm64: cpufeature: add FEAT_LSUI

Since Armv9.6, FEAT_LSUI introduces load/store instructions that allow
privileged code to access user memory without clearing the PSTATE.PAN bit.

Add CPU feature detection for FEAT_LSUI and enable its use
when FEAT_PAN is present so that removes the need for SW_PAN handling
when using LSUI instructions.
