[PATCH v16 09/42] arm64, dept: add support CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DEPT_SUPPORT to arm64

dept needs to notice every entrance from user to kernel mode to treat
every kernel context independently when tracking wait-event dependencies.
Roughly, system call and user oriented fault are the cases.

Make dept aware of the entrances of arm64 and add support
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DEPT_SUPPORT to arm64.
