arm64: extable: add a dedicated uaccess handler

For inline assembly, we place exception fixups out-of-line in the
`.fixup` section such that these are out of the way of the fast path.
This has a few drawbacks:

* Since the fixup code is anonymous, backtraces will symbolize fixups as
  offsets from the nearest prior symbol, currently
  `__entry_tramp_text_end`. This is confusing, and painful to debug
  without access to the relevant vmlinux.

* Since the exception handler adjusts the PC to execute the fixup, and
  the fixup uses a direct branch back into the function it fixes,
  backtraces of fixups miss the original function. This is confusing,
  and violates requirements for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE (and therefore
  LIVEPATCH).

* Inline assembly and associated fixups are generated from templates,
  and we have many copies of logically identical fixups which only
  differ in which specific registers are written to and which address is
  branched to at the end of the fixup. This is potentially wasteful of
  I-cache resources, and makes it hard to add additional logic to fixups
  without significant bloat.

This patch address all three concerns for inline uaccess fixups by
adding a dedicated exception handler which updates registers in
exception context and subsequent returns back into the function which
faulted, removing the need for fixups specialized to each faulting
instruction.

Other than backtracing, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.
