arm64: Mask all exceptions during kernel_exit

Browse Source 
To take RAS Exceptions as quickly as possible we need to keep SError
unmasked as much as possible. We need to mask it during kernel_exit
as taking an error from this code will overwrite the exception-registers.

Adding a naked 'disable_daif' to kernel_exit causes a performance problem
for micro-benchmarks that do no real work, (e.g. calling getpid() in a
loop). This is because the ret_to_user loop has already masked IRQs so
that the TIF_WORK_MASK thread flags can't change underneath it, adding
disable_daif is an additional self-synchronising operation.

In the future, the RAS APEI code may need to modify the TIF_WORK_MASK
flags from an SError, in which case the ret_to_user loop must mask SError
while it examines the flags.

Disable all exceptions for return to EL1. For return to EL0 get the
ret_to_user loop to leave all exceptions masked once it has done its
work, this avoids an extra pstate-write.
