arm64: ptrace: prepare for EL1 irq/rcu tracking
Exceptions from EL1 may be taken when RCU isn't watching (e.g. in idle sequences), or when the lockdep hardirqs transiently out-of-sync with the hardware state (e.g. in the middle of local_irq_enable()). To correctly handle these cases, we'll need to save/restore this state across some exceptions taken from EL1. A series of subsequent patches will update EL1 exception handlers to handle this. In preparation for this, and to avoid dependencies between those patches, this patch adds two new fields to struct pt_regs so that exception handlers can track this state. Note that this is placed in pt_regs as some entry/exit sequences such as el1_irq are invoked from assembly, which makes it very difficult to add a separate structure as with the irqentry_state used by x86. We can separate this once more of the exception logic is moved to C. While the fields only need to be bool, they are both made u64 to keep pt_regs 16-byte aligned. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
