arm64: kill ESR_LNX_EXEC

Currently we treat ESR_EL1 bit 24 as software-defined for distinguishing
instruction aborts from data aborts, but this bit is architecturally
RES0 for instruction aborts, and could be allocated for an arbitrary
purpose in future. Additionally, we hard-code the value in entry.S
without the mnemonic, making the code difficult to understand.

Instead, remove ESR_LNX_EXEC, and distinguish aborts based on the esr,
which we already pass to the sole use of ESR_LNX_EXEC. A new helper,
is_el0_instruction_abort() is added to make the logic clear. Any
instruction aborts taken from EL1 will already have been handled by
bad_mode, so we need not handle that case in the helper.

For consistency, the existing permission_fault helper is renamed to
is_permission_fault, and the return type is changed to bool. There
should be no functional changes as the return value was a boolean
expression, and the result is only used in another boolean expression.
