Mark Rutland b502c87d2a arm64: report EL1 UNDEFs better
If an UNDEFINED exception is taken from EL1, and do_undefinstr() doesn't
find any suitable undef_hook, it will call:

	BUG_ON(!user_mode(regs))

... and the kernel will report a failure witin do_undefinstr() rather
than reporting the original context that the UNDEFINED exception was
taken from. The pt_regs and ESR value reported within the BUG() handler
will be from within do_undefinstr() and the code dump will be for the
BRK in BUG_ON(), which isn't sufficient to debug the cause of the
original exception.

This patch makes the reporting better by having do_undefinstr() call
die() directly in this case to report the original context from which
the UNDEFINED exception was taken.

Prior to this patch, an undefined instruction is reported as:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
