kselftest/arm64: Try harder to generate different keys during PAC tests
We very intermittently see failures in the single_thread_different_keys PAC test. As noted in the comment in the test the PAC field can be quite narrow so there is a chance of collisions even with different keys with a chance of 5% for 7 bit keys, and the potential for narrower keys. The test tries to avoid this by running repeatedly, but only tries 10 times which even with a 5% chance of collisions isn't enough. Increase the number of times we attempt to look for collisions by a factor of 100, this also affects other tests which are following a similar pattern with running the test repeatedly and either don't care like with pac_instruction_not_nop or potentially have the same issue like exec_sign_all. The PAC tests are very fast, running in a second or two even in emulation, so the 100x increased cost is mildly irritating but not a huge issue. The bulk of the overhead is in the exec_sign_all test which does a fork() and exec() per iteration.
