arm64: insn: simplify insn group identification
The only code which needs to check for an entire instruction group is the aarch64_insn_is_steppable() helper function used by kprobes, which must not be instrumented, and only needs to check for the "Branch, exception generation and system instructions" class. Currently we have an out-of-line helper in insn.c which must be marked as __kprobes, which indexes a table with some bits extracted from the instruction. In aarch64_insn_is_steppable() we then need to compare the result with an expected enum value. It would be simpler to have a predicate for this, as with the other aarch64_insn_is_*() helpers, which would be always inlined to prevent inadvertent instrumentation, and would permit better code generation. This patch adds a predicate function for this instruction group using the existing __AARCH64_INSN_FUNCS() helpers, and removes the existing out-of-line helper. As the only class we currently care about is the branch+exception+sys class, I have only added helpers for this, and left the other classes unimplemented for now. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
