We currently enable ptrauth for userspace, but do not use it within the
kernel. We're going to enable it for the kernel, and will need to manage
a separate set of ptrauth keys for the kernel.
We currently keep all 5 keys in struct ptrauth_keys. However, as the
kernel will only need to use 1 key, it is a bit wasteful to allocate a
whole ptrauth_keys struct for every thread.
Therefore, a subsequent patch will define a separate struct, with only 1
key, for the kernel. In preparation for that, rename the existing struct
(and associated macros and functions) to reflect that they are specific
to userspace.

We don't need to get at the per-thread keys from assembly at all, so
they can live alongside the rest of the per-thread register state in
thread_struct instead of thread_info.
This will also allow straighforward whitelisting of the keys for
hardened usercopy should we expose them via a ptrace request later on.

Add an arm64-specific prctl to allow a thread to reinitialize its
pointer authentication keys to random values. This can be useful when
exec() is not used for starting new processes, to ensure that different
processes still have different keys.
