[PATCH v2] arm64: Make kpti command line options x86 compatible

[Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>]

I've already stumbled over 2 cases where people got confused about how to
disable kpti on AArch64. In both cases, they used existing x86_64 options
and just applied that to an AArch64 system, expecting it to work.

I think it makes a lot of sense to have compatible kernel command line
parameters whenever we can have them be compatible.

So this patch adds the pti= and no_pti kernel command line options, mapping
them into the existing kpti= command line framework. It preserves the old
syntax to maintain compatibility with older command lines.

While at it, the patch also marks the respective options as dual-arch.

v1 -> v2:

  - Actually make it compile. Sorry for the sloppy v1.
