arm64: Unconditionally select CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL

Aneesh reports that his kernel fails to boot in nVHE mode with
KVM's protected mode enabled. Further investigation by Mostafa
reveals that this fails because CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n and that
we have static keys shared between EL1 and EL2.

While this can be worked around, it is obvious that we have long
relied on having CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL enabled at all times, as all
supported compilers now have 'asm goto' (which is the basic block
for jump labels).

Let's simplify our lives once and for all by mandating jump labels.
It's not like anyone else is testing anything without them, and
we already rely on them for other things (kfence, xfs, preempt).
