arm64: bti: Require clang >= 10.0.1 for in-kernel BTI support
Unfortunately, most versions of clang that support BTI are capable of
miscompiling the kernel when converting a switch statement into a jump
table. As an example, attempting to spawn a KVM guest results in a panic:
[ 56.253312] Kernel panic - not syncing: bad mode
[ 56.253834] CPU: 0 PID: 279 Comm: lkvm Not tainted 5.8.0-rc1 #2

[ 56.258083] el0_sync_handler+0xf8/0x298
[ 56.258361] el0_sync+0x158/0x180
This is because the switch in kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension_generic()
is executed as an indirect branch to tail-call through a jump table:
ffff800010032dc8: 3869694c ldrb w12, [x10, x9]
ffff800010032dcc: 8b0c096b add x11, x11, x12, lsl #2
ffff800010032dd0: d61f0160 br x11
However, where the target case uses the stack, the landing pad is elided
due to the presence of a paciasp instruction:
ffff800010032e14: d503233f paciasp
ffff800010032e18: a9bf7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
ffff800010032e1c: 910003fd mov x29, sp
ffff800010032e20: aa0803e0 mov x0, x8
ffff800010032e24: 940017c0 bl ffff800010038d24 <kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension>
ffff800010032e28: 93407c00 sxtw x0, w0
ffff800010032e2c: a8c17bfd ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
ffff800010032e30: d50323bf autiasp
ffff800010032e34: d65f03c0 ret
Unfortunately, this results in a fatal exception because paciasp is
compatible only with branch-and-link (call) instructions and not simple
indirect branches.
A fix is being merged into Clang 10.0.1 so that a 'bti j' instruction is
emitted as an explicit landing pad in this situation. Make in-kernel
BTI depend on that compiler version when building with clang.
