arm64: implement syscall wrappers

To minimize the risk of userspace-controlled values being used under
speculation, this patch adds pt_regs based syscall wrappers for arm64,
which pass the minimum set of required userspace values to syscall
implementations. For each syscall, a wrapper which takes a pt_regs
argument is automatically generated, and this extracts the arguments
before calling the "real" syscall implementation.

Each syscall has three functions generated:

* __do_<compat_>sys_<name> is the "real" syscall implementation, with
  the expected prototype.

* __se_<compat_>sys_<name> is the sign-extension/narrowing wrapper,
  inherited from common code. This takes a series of long parameters,
  casting each to the requisite types required by the "real" syscall
  implementation in __do_<compat_>sys_<name>.

  This wrapper *may* not be necessary on arm64 given the AAPCS rules on
  unused register bits, but it seemed safer to keep the wrapper for now.

* __arm64_<compat_>_sys_<name> takes a struct pt_regs pointer, and
  extracts *only* the relevant register values, passing these on to the
  __se_<compat_>sys_<name> wrapper.

The syscall invocation code is updated to handle the calling convention
required by __arm64_<compat_>_sys_<name>, and passes a single struct
pt_regs pointer.

The compiler can fold the syscall implementation and its wrappers, such
that the overhead of this approach is minimized.

Note that we play games with sys_ni_syscall(). It can't be defined with
SYSCALL_DEFINE0() because we must avoid the possibility of error
injection. Additionally, there are a couple of locations where we need
to call it from C code, and we don't (currently) have a
ksys_ni_syscall().  While it has no wrapper, passing in a redundant
pt_regs pointer is benign per the AAPCS.

When ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is selected, no prototype is defines for
sys_ni_syscall(). Since we need to treat it differently for in-kernel
calls and the syscall tables, the prototype is defined as-required.

The wrappers are largely the same as their x86 counterparts, but
simplified as we don't have a variety of compat calling conventions that
require separate stubs. Unlike x86, we have some zero-argument compat
syscalls, and must define COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0() to ensure that these
are also given an __arm64_compat_sys_ prefix.
