Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 2/9] arm64: make is_ttbrX_addr() noinstr-safe

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

[ Upstream commit d8c1d798a2e5091128c391c6dadcc9be334af3f5 ]

We use is_ttbr0_addr() in noinstr code, but as it's only marked as
inline, it's theoretically possible for the compiler to place it
out-of-line and instrument it, which would be problematic.

Mark is_ttbr0_addr() as __always_inline such that that can safely be
used from noinstr code. For consistency, do the same to is_ttbr1_addr().
Note that while is_ttbr1_addr() calls arch_kasan_reset_tag(), this is a
macro (and its callees are either macros or __always_inline), so there
is not a risk of transient instrumentation.
