Mark Rutland 14088540ad arm64: use const cap for system_uses_ttbr0_pan()
Since commit 4b65a5db36 ("arm64: Introduce
uaccess_{disable,enable} functionality based on TTBR0_EL1"),
system_uses_ttbr0_pan() has used cpus_have_cap() to determine whether
PAN is present.

Since commit a4023f6827 ("arm64: Add hypervisor safe helper for
checking constant capabilities"), which was introduced around the same
time, cpus_have_cap() doesn't try to use a static key, and must always
perform a load, test, and consitional branch (likely a tbnz for the
latter two).

Elsewhere, we moved to using cpus_have_const_cap(), which can use a
static key (i.e. a non-conditional branch), which is patched at runtime
when the feature is detected.

This patch makes system_uses_ttbr0_pan() use cpus_have_const_cap(). The
static key is likely a win for hot-paths like the uacccess primitives,
and this makes our usage consistent regardless.
