arm64/sysreg: Improve PIR/POR helpers
We currently have one helper to set a PIRx_ELx's permission field to
a given value, PIRx_ELx_PERM(), and another helper to extract a
permission field from POR_ELx, POR_ELx_IDX(). The naming is pretty
confusing - it isn't clear at all that "_PERM" corresponds to a
setter and "_IDX" to a getter.
This patch aims at improving the situation by using the same
suffixes as FIELD_PREP()/FIELD_GET(), which we have already adopted
for SYS_FIELD_{PREP,GET}():
* PIRx_ELx_PERM_PREP(), POR_ELx_PERM_PREP() create a register value
where the permission field for a given index is set to a given value.
* POR_ELx_PERM_GET() extracts the permission field from a given
register value for a given index.
These helpers are not implemented using FIELD_PREP()/FIELD_GET()
because the mask may not be constant, and they need to be usable in
assembly. They are all defined in asm/sysreg.h, as one would expect
for basic sysreg-related helpers.
Finally the new POR_ELx_PERM_* macros are used for existing
calculations in signal.c and mmu.c.
