arm: Don't panic when checking coprocessor read/write permissions
Instructions that use the coprocessor interface check the current program status to determine whether the current context has the priviledges to read from/write to the coprocessor. Some modes allow the execution of coprocessor instructions, some others do not allow it, while some other modes are unexpected (e.g., executing an AArch32 instruction while being in an AArch64 mode). Previously we would unconditionally trigger a panic if we were in an unexpected mode. This change removes the panic and replaces it with an Undefined Instruction fault that triggers if and when a coprocessor instruction commits in an unexpected mode. This allows speculative coprocessor instructions from unexpected modes to execute but prevents them from gettting committed.
