arm64: text replication: early kernel option to enable replication
Provide an early kernel option "ktext=" which allows the kernel text
replication to be enabled. This takes a boolean argument.
The way this has been implemented means that we take all the same paths
through the kernel at runtime whether kernel text replication has been
enabled or not; this allows the performance effects of the code changes
to be evaluated separately from the act of running with replicating the
kernel text.
