[PATCH v5 04/27] arm64: daifflags: Use irqflags functions for daifflags

Hi Julien,

Some of the work done in daifflags save/restore is already provided
by irqflags functions. Daifflags should always be a superset of irqflags
(it handles irq status + status of other flags). Modifying behaviour of
irqflags should alter the behaviour of daifflags.

Use irqflags_save/restore functions for the corresponding daifflags
operation.

I clearly should have done this from the beginning!
(I thought there was some header-loop that prevented it, but I can't reproduce
that now!)

And I thought this only messed with the I bit, which it clearly doesn't.

Thanks for fixing these!
