When enabling DIT on ARM64, add speculation barrier instructions to
ensure that subsequent instructions are executed using the updated
DIT state.

See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/writing-arm64-code-for-apple-platforms#Enable-DIT-for-constant-time-cryptographic-operations
which recommends doing this. The Arm documentation for DIT doesn't tell
you to do this, but it seems prudent.
