Subject: [PATCH v3 08/11] entry: Make CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY available outside x86

In principle, the generic entry code is generic, and the goal is to use it
in many architectures once it settles down more.  Move CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY
to the generic config so that it can be used in the generic entry code and
not just in arch/x86.

Disable it on arm64.  arm64 uses some but not all of the kentry
code, and trying to debug the resulting state machine will be painful.
arm64 can turn it back on when it starts using the entire generic
path.
