KVM: arm64: Add userspace flag to enable pointer authentication
Now that the building blocks of pointer authentication are present, lets add userspace flags KVM_ARM_VCPU_PTRAUTH_ADDRESS and KVM_ARM_VCPU_PTRAUTH_GENERIC. These flags will enable pointer authentication for the KVM guest on a per-vcpu basis through the ioctl KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT. This features will allow the KVM guest to allow the handling of pointer authentication instructions or to treat them as undefined if not set. Necessary documentations are added to reflect the changes done.
