Subject: [PATCHv2 02/19] arm64: move SCTLR_EL{1,2} assertions to <asm/sysreg.h>

Currently we assert that the SCTLR_EL{1,2}_{SET,CLEAR} bits are
self-consistent with an assertion in config_sctlr_el1(). This is a bit
unusual, since config_sctlr_el1() doesn't make use of these definitions,
and is far away from the definitions themselves.

We can use the CPP #error directive to have equivalent assertions in
<asm/sysreg.h>, next to the definitions of the set/clear bits, which is
a bit clearer and simpler.

The preprocessor handles literals differently than regular C, e.g. ~0 is
equivalent to ~(intmax_t)0 rather than ~(int)0. Therefore, instead of ~0
we use 0xffffffff, which is unambiguous.
