[PATCH v6 01/40] arm64: Enable armv8.5-a asm-arch option

[Andrey Konovalov]

From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@xxxxxxx>

Hardware tag-based KASAN relies on Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) which
is an armv8.5-a architecture extension.

Enable the correct asm option when the compiler supports it in order to
allow the usage of ALTERNATIVE()s with MTE instructions.
