From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com>
Subject: arm64: enable armv8.5-a asm-arch option

Hardware tag-based KASAN relies on Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) which is
an armv8.5-a architecture extension.

Enable the correct asm option when the compiler supports it in order to
allow the usage of ALTERNATIVE()s with MTE instructions.
