arm64: Branch predictor hardening for Cavium ThunderX2
Commit
f3d795d9b360 upstream.
Use PSCI based mitigation for speculative execution attacks targeting
the branch predictor. We use the same mechanism as the one used for
Cortex-A CPUs, we expect the PSCI version call to have a side effect
of clearing the BTBs.
