arm64: sync kernel APIAKey when installing
A direct write to a APxxKey_EL1 register requires a context
synchronization event to ensure that indirect reads made by subsequent
instructions (e.g. AUTIASP, PACIASP) observe the new value.
When we initialize the boot task's APIAKey in boot_init_stack_canary()
via ptrauth_keys_switch_kernel() we miss the necessary ISB, and so there
is a window where instructions are not guaranteed to use the new APIAKey
value. This has been observed to result in boot-time crashes where
PACIASP and AUTIASP within a function used a mixture of the old and new
key values.
Fix this by having ptrauth_keys_switch_kernel() synchronize the new key
value with an ISB. At the same time, __ptrauth_key_install() is renamed
to __ptrauth_key_install_nosync() so that it is obvious that this
performs no synchronization itself.
