This series reworks the way UNDEFINED instruction traps are handled,
removing some dynamic data structure manipulation and related locking.
This makes the code a bit simpler and removes some unnecessary
bottlenecks when traps are handled.

My original aim for this series was to get rid of the RCU_NONIDLE() call
in cpu_suspend(), requiring the removal of the undef_hook list
manipulation. In the process of looking at that I figured we had a set
of related problems with UNDEF handling and deprecated instruction
handling, which this series addresses. This series does not remove the
RCU_NONIDLE() call from cpu_suspend() as removing that will require
further rework of the suspend code (e.g. for noinstr safety).

I've tested this series in VMs on ThunderX2 (for the ID reg emulation
changes) and a Raspberry Pi 4 (for the armv8_deprecated changes), as
described in the relevant commits.

Thanks,
Mark.
