Alexandru Elisei 8d56e5c5a9 arm64: Treat ESR_ELx as a 64-bit register
In the initial release of the ARM Architecture Reference Manual for
ARMv8-A, the ESR_ELx registers were defined as 32-bit registers. This
changed in 2018 with version D.a (ARM DDI 0487D.a) of the architecture,
when they became 64-bit registers, with bits [63:32] defined as RES0. In
version G.a, a new field was added to ESR_ELx, ISS2, which covers bits
[36:32].  This field is used when the Armv8.7 extension FEAT_LS64 is
implemented.

As a result of the evolution of the register width, Linux stores it as
both a 64-bit value and a 32-bit value, which hasn't affected correctness
so far as Linux only uses the lower 32 bits of the register.

Make the register type consistent and always treat it as 64-bit wide. The
register is redefined as an "unsigned long", which is an unsigned
double-word (64-bit quantity) for the LP64 machine (aapcs64 [1], Table 1,
page 14). The type was chosen because "unsigned int" is the most frequent
type for ESR_ELx and because FAR_ELx, which is used together with ESR_ELx
in exception handling, is also declared as "unsigned long". The 64-bit type
also makes adding support for architectural features that use fields above
bit 31 easier in the future.

The KVM hypervisor will receive a similar update in a subsequent patch.
