arm64: enable ptrauth earlier

When the kernel is compiled with pointer auth instructions, the boot CPU
needs to start using address auth very early, so change the cpucap to
account for this.

Pointer auth must be enabled before we call C functions, because it is
not possible to enter a function with pointer auth disabled and exit it
with pointer auth enabled. Note, mismatches between architected and
IMPDEF algorithms will still be caught by the cpufeature framework (the
separate *_ARCH and *_IMP_DEF cpucaps).

Note the change in behavior: if the boot CPU has address auth and a
late CPU does not, then the late CPU is parked by the cpufeature
framework. This is possible as kernel will only have NOP space intructions
for PAC so such mismatched late cpu will silently ignore those
instructions in C functions. Also, if the boot CPU does not have address
auth and the late CPU has then the late cpu will still boot but with
ptrauth feature disabled.

Leave generic authentication as a "system scope" cpucap for now, since
initially the kernel will only use address authentication.
