FROMLIST: arm64: Enable CONFIG_ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN

This patch adds the Kconfig option to enable support for TTBR0 PAN
emulation. The option is default off because of a slight performance hit
when enabled, caused by the additional TTBR0_EL1 switching during user
access operations or exception entry/exit code.

Enabling this option prevents the kernel from accessing
user-space memory directly by pointing TTBR0_EL1 to a reserved
zeroed area and reserved ASID. The user access routines
restore the valid TTBR0_EL1 temporarily.
