arm64: HWCAP: add support for AT_HWCAP2

As we will exhaust the first 32 bits of AT_HWCAP let's start
exposing AT_HWCAP2 to userspace to give us up to 64 caps.

Whilst it's possible to use the remaining 32 bits of AT_HWCAP, we
prefer to expand into AT_HWCAP2 in order to provide a consistent
view to userspace between ILP32 and LP64. However internal to the
kernel we prefer to continue to use the full space of elf_hwcap.

To reduce complexity and allow for future expansion, we now
represent hwcaps in the kernel as ordinals and use a
KERNEL_HWCAP_ prefix. This allows us to support automatic feature
based module loading for all our hwcaps.

We introduce cpu_set_feature to set hwcaps which complements the
existing cpu_have_feature helper. These helpers allow us to clean
up existing direct uses of elf_hwcap and reduce any future effort
required to move beyond 64 caps.

For convenience we also introduce cpu_{have,set}_named_feature which
makes use of the cpu_feature macro to allow providing a hwcap name
without a {KERNEL_}HWCAP_ prefix.
