arm64: Restore forced disabling of KPTI on ThunderX (2021-09-23 15:59:15 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
arm64 fixes:

- It turns out that the optimised string routines merged in 5.14 are not
safe with in-kernel MTE (KASAN_HW_TAGS) because of reading beyond the
end of a string (strcmp, strncmp). Such reading may go across a 16
byte tag granule and cause a tag check fault. When KASAN_HW_TAGS is
enabled, use the generic strcmp/strncmp C implementation.

- An errata workaround for ThunderX relied on the CPU capabilities being
enabled in a specific order. This disappeared with the automatic
generation of the cpucaps.h file (sorted alphabetically). Fix it by
checking the current CPU only rather than the system-wide capability.

- Add system_supports_mte() checks on the kernel entry/exit path and
thread switching to avoid unnecessary barriers and function calls on
systems where MTE is not supported.

- kselftests: skip arm64 tests if the required features are missing.
