arm64: insn: Don't assume unrecognized HINTs are skippable

Browse Source 
Currently the kernel assumes that any HINT which it does not explicitly
recognise is skippable.  This is not robust as new instructions may be
added which need special handling, and in any case software should only
be using explicit NOP instructions for deliberate NOPs.

This has the effect of rendering PAC and BTI instructions unprobeable
which means that probes can't be inserted on the first instruction of
functions built with those features.
