Now that we have XZR-safe helpers for fiddling with registers, use these
in the arm64 kprobes code rather than open-coding the logic.

Kprobes does not need its own homebrewed (and frankly inscrutable) sign
extension macro; just use the standard kernel functions instead. Since
the compiler actually recognises the sign-extension idiom of the latter,
we also get the small bonus of some nicer codegen, as each displacement
calculation helper then compiles to a single optimal SBFX instruction.

Kprobes needs simulation of instructions that cannot be stepped
from a different memory location, e.g.: those instructions
that uses PC-relative addressing. In simulation, the behaviour
of the instruction is implemented using a copy of pt_regs.
The following instruction categories are simulated:
- All branching instructions(conditional, register, and immediate)
- Literal access instructions(load-literal, adr/adrp)
Conditional execution is limited to branching instructions in
ARM v8. If conditions at PSTATE do not match the condition fields
of opcode, the instruction is effectively NOP.
Thanks to Will Cohen for assorted suggested changes.
