[PATCH] AArch64 pauth: Support backtrace in EL1 (kernel space)

[Koudai Iwahori]

The way to remove the signature bits from the address depends on the
55th bit of the address. If 55th bit is zero, the signature bits should
be all cleared. If the 55th bit is one, the signature bits should be all
set.

I found very similar patches after fixing this issue:

If this issue will be fixed in the near future, I can wait for it
