arm64: pac: Optimize kernel entry/exit key installation code paths
The kernel does not use any keys besides IA so we don't need to install IB/DA/DB/GA on kernel exit if we arrange to install them on task switch instead, which we can expect to happen an order of magnitude less often. Furthermore we can avoid installing the user IA in the case where the user task has IA disabled and just leave the kernel IA installed. This also lets us avoid needing to install IA on kernel entry. On an Apple M1 under a hypervisor, the overhead of kernel entry/exit has been measured to be reduced by 15.6ns in the case where IA is enabled, and 31.9ns in the case where IA is disabled.
