arm64: Mark kernel as tainted on SAE and SError panic

Set TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK when SError or Synchronous External Abort (SEA)
interrupts trigger a panic to flag potential hardware faults. This
tainting mechanism aids in debugging and enables correlation of
hardware-related crashes in large-scale deployments.

This change aligns with similar patches[1] that mark machine check
events when the system crashes due to hardware errors.
