arm64: debug: split bkpt32 exception entry
Currently all debug exceptions share common entry code and are routed
to `do_debug_exception()`, which calls dynamically-registered
handlers for each specific debug exception. This is unfortunate as
different debug exceptions have different entry handling requirements,
and it would be better to handle these distinct requirements earlier.
The BKPT32 exception can only be triggered by a BKPT instruction. Thus,
we know that the PC is a legitimate address and isn't being used to train
a branch predictor with a bogus address : we don't need to call
`arm64_apply_bp_hardening()`.
The handler for this exception only pends a signal and doesn't depend
on any per-CPU state : we don't need to inhibit preemption, nor do we
need to keep the DAIF exceptions masked, so we can unmask them earlier.
Split the BKPT32 exception entry and adjust function signatures and its
behaviour to match its relaxed constraints compared to other
debug exceptions.
We can also remove `NOKRPOBE_SYMBOL`, as this cannot lead to a kprobe
recursion.
This replaces the last usage of `el0_dbg()`, so remove it.
