auth_branch_target() can return its 'dst' argument
directly if pauth is disabled...

...which is why we had this check for dst and lr being
the same thing. Now we don't, but...

...here we update X30 with the link pointer before we
set the PC from dst, so if Xn is X30 and pauth is
disabled we'll jump to the wrong target, I think.

We could fix this by (like trans_BLR in the previous patch)
writing the new PC before we write link to X30.

Similarly here.
