arm64: fix a concurrency issue in emulation_proc_handler()

In linux-6.1, the related code is refactored in commit 124c49b1b5d9
("arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling") and this
issue was incidentally fixed. I have adapted the patch set to linux stable
5.10. However, 4.19 and 5.10 are too different and the patch set is
hard to adapt to 4.19.

This patch is to solve the problem of repeated addition of linked lists
described below with few changes.

How to reproduce:
CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y, CONFIG_SWP_EMULATION=y, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y,
then launch two shell executions:
       #!/bin/bash
       while [ 1 ];
       do
           echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/swp
       done

or "echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/swp" and then aunch two shell executions:
       #!/bin/bash
       while [ 1 ];
       do
           echo 0 > /proc/sys/abi/swp
       done

In emulation_proc_handler(), read and write operations are performed on
insn->current_mode. In the concurrency scenario, mutex only protects
writing insn->current_mode, and not protects the read. Suppose there are
two concurrent tasks, task1 updates insn->current_mode to INSN_EMULATE
in the critical section, the prev_mode of task2 is still the old data
INSN_UNDEF of insn->current_mode. As a result, two tasks call
update_insn_emulation_mode twice with prev_mode = INSN_UNDEF and
current_mode = INSN_EMULATE, then call register_emulation_hooks twice,
resulting in a list_add double problem.

After applying this patch, the following list add or list del double
warnings never occur.
