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.
Which I ignored (by default, when the kbuild test robot complains ;)).
Since this is logically a tail call, could we simply be using br x16 or
br x17 for this?

The architecture makes special provision for that so that the compiler
can generate tail-calls.
So a "br x16" is compatible with a bti_c landing pad. I think it makes
more sense to keep it as a tail call.
