arm64: kernel: Prepare for a DISR user
KVM would like to consume any pending SError (or RAS error) after guest exit. Today it has to unmask SError and use dsb+isb to synchronise the CPU. With the RAS extensions we can use ESB to synchronise any pending SError. Add the necessary macros to allow DISR to be read and converted to an ESR. We clear the DISR register when we enable the RAS cpufeature, and the kernel has not executed any ESB instructions. Any value we find in DISR must have belonged to firmware. Executing an ESB instruction is the only way to update DISR, so we can expect firmware to have handled any deferred SError. By the same logic we clear DISR in the idle path.
