arm64: avoid double ISB on kernel entry
Although an ISB is required in order to make the MTE-related system register update to GCR_EL1 effective, and the same is true for PAC-related updates to SCTLR_EL1 or APIAKey{Hi,Lo}_EL1, we issue two ISBs on machines that support both features while we only need to issue one. To avoid the unnecessary additional ISB, remove the ISBs from the PAC and MTE-specific alternative blocks and add a couple of additional blocks that cause us to only execute one ISB if both features are supported.
