arm64: Make ARMV8_DEPRECATED depend on SYSCTL
If CONFIG_SYSCTL=n and CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y, the deprecated instruction emulation code currently leaks some memory at boot time, and won't have any runtime control interface. This does not feel like useful or intended behaviour... This patch adds a dependency on CONFIG_SYSCTL, so that such a kernel can't be built in the first place. It's probably not worth adding the error-handling / cleanup code that would be needed to deal with this otherwise: people who desperately need the emulation can still enable SYSCTL.

Legacy software support may require certain instructions
that have been deprecated or obsoleted in the architecture.
