arm64: Ensure the instruction emulation is ready for userspace

Browse Source 
We trap and emulate some instructions (e.g, mrs, deprecated instructions)
for the userspace. However the handlers for these are registered as
late_initcalls and the userspace could be up and running from the initramfs
by that time (with populate_rootfs, which is a rootfs_initcall()). This
could cause problems for the early applications ending up in failure
like :

[   11.152061] modprobe[93]: undefined instruction: pc=0000ffff8ca48ff4

This patch promotes the specific calls to core_initcalls, which are
guaranteed to be completed before we hit userspace.
