This patch enables support for PREEMPT_DYNAMIC on arm64, allowing the
preemption model to be chosen at boot time.

Specifically, this patch selects HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_KEY, so that each
preemption function is an out-of-line call with an early return
depending upon a static key. This leaves almost all the codegen up to
the compiler, and side-steps a number of pain points with static calls
(e.g. interaction with CFI schemes). This should have no worse overhead
than using non-inline static calls, as those use out-of-line trampolines
with early returns.

For example, the dynamic_cond_resched() wrapper looks as follows when
enabled. When disabled, the first `B` is replaced with a `NOP`,
resulting in an early return.

| <dynamic_cond_resched>:
|        bti     c
|        b       <dynamic_cond_resched+0x10>     // or `nop`
|        mov     w0, #0x0
|        ret
|        mrs     x0, sp_el0
|        ldr     x0, [x0, #8]
|        cbnz    x0, <dynamic_cond_resched+0x8>
|        paciasp
|        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
|        mov     x29, sp
|        bl      <preempt_schedule_common>
|        mov     w0, #0x1
|        ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #16
|        autiasp
|        ret

... compared to the regular form of the function:

| <__cond_resched>:
|        bti     c
|        mrs     x0, sp_el0
|        ldr     x1, [x0, #8]
|        cbz     x1, <__cond_resched+0x18>
|        mov     w0, #0x0
|        ret
|        paciasp
|        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
|        mov     x29, sp
|        bl      <preempt_schedule_common>
|        mov     w0, #0x1
|        ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #16
|        autiasp
|        ret

Since arm64 does not yet use the generic entry code, we must define our
own `sk_dynamic_irqentry_exit_cond_resched`, which will be
enabled/disabled by the common code in kernel/sched/core.c. All other
preemption functions and associated static keys are defined there.
