Will Deacon 84931327a8 arm64: ptr auth: Move per-thread keys from thread_info to thread_struct
We don't need to get at the per-thread keys from assembly at all, so
they can live alongside the rest of the per-thread register state in
thread_struct instead of thread_info.

This will also allow straighforward whitelisting of the keys for
hardened usercopy should we expose them via a ptrace request later on.

Kristina Martsenko ba83088565 arm64: add prctl control for resetting ptrauth keys
Add an arm64-specific prctl to allow a thread to reinitialize its
pointer authentication keys to random values. This can be useful when
exec() is not used for starting new processes, to ensure that different
processes still have different keys.
