arm64: cpufeature: add pointer auth meta-capabilities

Browse source

To enable pointer auth for the kernel, we're going to need to check for
the presence of address auth and generic auth using alternative_if. We
currently have two cpucaps for each, but alternative_if needs to check a
single cpucap. So define meta-capabilities that are present when either
of the current two capabilities is present.

Leave the existing four cpucaps in place, as they are still needed to
check for mismatched systems where one CPU has the architected algorithm
but another has the IMP DEF algorithm.

Note, the meta-capabilities were present before but were removed in
commit a56005d321 ("arm64: cpufeature: Reduce number of pointer auth
CPU caps from 6 to 4") and commit 1e013d0612 ("arm64: cpufeature: Rework
ptr auth hwcaps using multi_entry_cap_matches"), as they were not needed
then. Note, unlike before, the current patch checks the cpucap values
directly, instead of reading the CPU ID register value.
