[PATCH v2 12/14] arm64: kprobe: disable probe of ptrauth instruction

[Amit Daniel Kachhap <amit.kachhap@arm.com>]

This patch disables the probing of authenticate ptrauth
instruction which falls under the hint instructions region.
This is done to disallow probe of instruction which may lead
to ptrauth faults.

The corresponding append pac ptrauth instruction is not
disabled as they are typically the first instruction in the
function so disabling them will be disabling the function
probe itself. Also, appending pac do not cause any exception
in itself.
