arm64/speculation: Support 'mitigations=' cmdline option
[ Upstream commit a111b7c0f20e13b54df2fa959b3dc0bdf1925ae6 ]
Configure arm64 runtime CPU speculation bug mitigations in accordance
with the 'mitigations=' cmdline option. This affects Meltdown, Spectre
v2, and Speculative Store Bypass.
The default behavior is unchanged.
