arm64: Handle BRBE booting requirements

To use the Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE), some configuration is
necessary at EL3 and EL2. This patch documents the requirements and adds
the initial EL2 setup code, which largely consists of configuring the
fine-grained traps and initializing a couple of BRBE control registers.

Before this patch, __init_el2_fgt() would initialize HDFGRTR_EL2 and
HDFGWTR_EL2 with the same value, relying on the read/write trap controls
for a register occupying the same bit position in either register. The
'nBRBIDR' trap control only exists in bit 59 of HDFGRTR_EL2, while bit
59 of HDFGWTR_EL2 is RES0, and so this assumption no longer holds.

To handle HDFGRTR_EL2 and HDFGWTR_EL2 having (slightly) different bit
layouts, __init_el2_fgt() is changed to accumulate the HDFGRTR_EL2 and
HDFGWTR_EL2 control bits separately. While making this change the
open-coded value (1 << 62) is replaced with
HDFG{R,W}TR_EL2_nPMSNEVFR_EL1_MASK.

The BRBCR_EL1 and BRBCR_EL2 registers are unusual and require special
initialisation: even though they are subject to E2H renaming, both have
an effect regardless of HCR_EL2.TGE, even when running at EL2. So we
must initialize BRBCR_EL2 in case we run in nVHE mode. This is handled
in __init_el2_brbe() with a comment to explain the situation.
