[PATCH v13 2/2] arm64: Enable BTI for main executable as well as the interpreter

[Mark Brown]

Currently for dynamically linked ELF executables we only enable BTI for
the interpreter, expecting the interpreter to do this for the main
executable. This is a bit inconsistent since we do map main executable and
is causing issues with systemd's MemoryDenyWriteExecute feature which is
implemented using a seccomp filter which prevents setting PROT_EXEC on
already mapped memory and lacks the context to be able to detect that
memory is already mapped with PROT_EXEC.

Resolve this by adding a sysctl abi.bti_main which causes the kernel to
checking the BTI property for the main executable and enable BTI if it
is present when doing the initial mapping. This sysctl is disabled by
default.
