Implement dynamic mitigation for CVE-2018-3639 on Cortex-A76
The Cortex-A76 implements SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 as defined in
"Firmware interfaces for mitigating cache speculation vulnerabilities
System Software on Arm Systems"[0].
Dynamic mitigation for CVE-2018-3639 is enabled/disabled by
setting/clearning bit 16 (Disable load pass store) of `CPUACTLR2_EL1`.
NOTE: The generic code that implements dynamic mitigation does not
currently implement the expected semantics when dispatching an SDEI
event to a lower EL. This will be fixed in a separate patch.
