arm64: Use firmware to detect CPUs that are not affected by Spectre-v2
[ Upstream commit 517953c2c47f9c00a002f588ac856a5bc70cede3 ] The SMCCC ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 service can indicate that although the firmware knows about the Spectre-v2 mitigation, this particular CPU is not vulnerable, and it is thus not necessary to call the firmware on this CPU. Let's use this information to our benefit.
