Refactoring of our instruction decoding routines and addition of some
missing encodings.

* for-next/insn:
  arm64: insn: avoid circular include dependency
  arm64: insn: move AARCH64_INSN_SIZE into &lt;asm/insn.h&gt;
  arm64: insn: decouple patching from insn code
  arm64: insn: Add load/store decoding helpers
  arm64: insn: Add some opcodes to instruction decoder
  arm64: insn: Add barrier encodings
  arm64: insn: Add SVE instruction class
  arm64: Move instruction encoder/decoder under lib/
  arm64: Move aarch32 condition check functions
  arm64: Move patching utilities out of instruction encoding/decoding

For histroical reasons, we define AARCH64_INSN_SIZE in
&lt;asm/alternative-macros.h&gt;, but it would make more sense to do so in
&lt;asm/insn.h&gt;. Let's move it into &lt;asm/insn.h&gt;, and add the necessary
include directives for this.

Currently, &lt;asm/insn.h&gt; includes &lt;asm/patching.h&gt;. We intend that
&lt;asm/insn.h&gt; will be usable from userspace, so it doesn't make sense to
include headers for kernel-only features such as the patching routines,
and we'd intended to restrict &lt;asm/insn.h&gt; to instruction encoding
details.

Let's decouple the patching code from &lt;asm/insn.h&gt;, and explicitly
include &lt;asm/patching.h&gt; where it is needed. Since &lt;asm/patching.h&gt;
isn't included from assembly, we can drop the __ASSEMBLY__ guards.

At the same time, sort the kprobes includes so that it's easier to see
what is and isn't incldued.

Files insn.[c|h] containt some functions used for instruction patching.
In order to reuse the instruction encoder/decoder, move the patching
utilities to their own file.
