arm64: Add CNT{P,V}CTSS_EL0 alternatives to cnt{p,v}ct_el0
CNTPCTSS_EL0 and CNTVCTSS_EL0 are alternatives to the usual CNTPCT_EL0 and CNTVCT_EL0 that do not require a previous ISB to be synchronised (SS stands for Self-Synchronising). Use the ARM64_HAS_ECV capability to control alternative sequences that switch to these low(er)-cost primitives. Note that the counter access in the VDSO is for now left alone until we decide whether we want to allow this.
