[PATCH v4 09/13] arm64: kernel: Add arch-specific SDEI entry code and CPU masking

The Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI) is an ARM standard
for registering callbacks from the platform firmware into the OS.
This is typically used to implement RAS notifications.

Such notifications enter the kernel at the registered entry-point
with the register values of the interrupted CPU context. Because this
is not a CPU exception, it cannot reuse the existing entry code.
(crucially we don't implicitly know which exception level we interrupted),

Add an sdei-entry.S asm file to set us up for calling into C code. If
the event interrupted code that had interrupts masked, we always return
to that location. Otherwise we pretend this was an IRQ, and use SDEI's
complete_and_resume call to return to vbar_el1 + offset.

This allows the kernel to deliver signals to user space processes. For
KVM this triggers the world switch, a quick spin round vcpu_run, then
back into the guest, unless there are pending signals.

Add sdei_mask_local_cpu() calls to the smp_send_stop() code, this covers
the panic() code-path, which doesn't invoke cpuhotplug notifiers.

Because we can interrupt entry-from/exit-to another EL, we can't trust the
value in sp_el0 or x29, even if we interrupted the kernel, in this case
the code in entry.S will save/restore sp_el0 and use the value in
__entry_task.

When we have VMAP stacks we can interrupt the stack-overflow test, which
stirs x0 into sp, meaning we have to have our own VMAP stack.

We have a similar asm in __cpu_suspend_exit(), so there's precedent. As
a separate patch (not part of this series), we should move them into
a macro, e.g. __uaccess_disable_hw_pan() (enabling as well for
consistency).
