[PATCH v2 2/6] aarch64: define BTI_C and BTI_J macros as NOP unless HAVE_AARCH64_BTI

From: Naohiro Tamura <naohirot@jp.fujitsu.com>

This patch defines BTI_C and BTI_J macros conditionally for
performance.
If HAVE_AARCH64_BTI is true, BTI_C and BTI_J are defined as HINT
instruction for ARMv8.5 BTI (Branch Target Identification).
If HAVE_AARCH64_BTI is false, both BTI_C and BTI_J are defined as
NOP.
