[AArch64] Remove dead code emission in Pointer Authentication (#175989)
The AArch64 Pointer Authentication pass was emitting address
materialization instructions that were never used. These instructions
formed dead code and served no purpose in the final control flow.

Remove the unnecessary ADRP/ADD sequence from the Pointer Auth codegen
and update the corresponding test to reflect the simplified output.

This avoids generating dead instructions and keeps the PAUTH LR sequence
minimal and correct.
