arm64: mte: fix restoration of GCR_EL1 from suspend

Browse source

Since commit:

  bad1e1c663 ("arm64: mte: switch GCR_EL1 in kernel entry and exit")

we saved/restored the user GCR_EL1 value at exception boundaries, and
update_gcr_el1_excl() is no longer used for this. However it is used to
restore the kernel's GCR_EL1 value when returning from a suspend state.
Thus, the comment is misleading (and an ISB is necessary).

When restoring the kernel's GCR value, we need an ISB to ensure this is
used by subsequent instructions. We don't necessarily get an ISB by
other means (e.g. if the kernel is built without support for pointer
authentication). As __cpu_setup() initialised GCR_EL1.Exclude to 0xffff,
until a context synchronization event, allocation tag 0 may be used
rather than the desired set of tags.

This patch drops the misleading comment, adds the missing ISB, and for
clarity folds update_gcr_el1_excl() into its only user.
