Subject: arm64: Add COMPAT_HWCAP_LPAE

commit 7d57511d2dba03a8046c8b428dd9192a4bfc1e73 upstream.

Commit a469abd0f868 (ARM: elf: add new hwcap for identifying atomic
ldrd/strd instructions) introduces HWCAP_ELF for 32-bit ARM
applications. As LPAE is always present on arm64, report the
corresponding compat HWCAP to user space.
