[COMMITTED 2.41 3/6] aarch64: define macro for calling __libc_arm_za_disable

A common sequence of instructions is used in several places
in assembly files, so define it in one place as an assembly
macro.

Note that PAC instructions are not included in the new macro
because they are redundant given how we call the arm_za_disable
function (return address is not saved on stack, so no need to
sign it).

(based on commits 6de12fc9ad56bc19fa6fcbd8ee502f29b5170d47
 and c0f0db2d59e0908057205b22b21dd9d626d780c1)
