The AES code uses a 'br x7' as part of a function called by
a macro. That branch needs a bti_j as a target. This results
in a panic as seen below. Instead of trying to replace the branch
target with a bti_jc, lets replace the indirect branch with a
bl/ret, bl sequence that can target the existing bti_c.

Fixes: commit 0e89640b640d ("crypto: arm64 - Use modern annotations for assembly functions")
nit: the "commit" string shouldn't be here, and I think the linux-next
scripts will yell at us if we don't remove it.

Dang, replied on an old version.
They're not versioned, so who knows which one is older!
Since this is logically a tail call, could we simply be using br x16 or
br x17 for this?
Yup, that would work too. This was just "obviously correct" and it would
be nice to get a fix in for 5.9.
