arm64: bti: Document behaviour for dynamically linked binaries
For dynamically linked binaries the interpreter is responsible for setting PROT_BTI on everything except itself. The dynamic linker needs to be aware of PROT_BTI, for example in order to avoid dropping that when marking executable pages read only after doing relocations, and doing everything in userspace ensures that we don't get any issues due to divergences in behaviour between the kernel and dynamic linker within a single executable. Add a comment indicating that this is intentional to the code to help people trying to understand what's going on.
