arm64: Mark kernel as tainted on SAE and SError panic
Set TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK when SError or Synchronous External Abort (SEA) interrupts trigger a panic to flag potential hardware faults. This tainting mechanism aids in debugging and enables correlation of hardware-related crashes in large-scale deployments. This change aligns with similar patches[1] that mark machine check events when the system crashes due to hardware errors.
