On CPUs with support for PSTATE.SSBS, the kernel can toggle the SSBD
state without needing to call into firmware.
This patch hooks into the existing SSBD infrastructure so that SSBS is
used on CPUs that support it, but it's all made horribly complicated by
the very real possibility of big/little systems that don't uniformly
provide the new capability.

Now that we're all merged nicely into mainline, there's no need to check
to see if PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS is defined.

If running on a system that performs dynamic SSBD mitigation, allow
userspace to request the mitigation for itself. This is implemented
as a prctl call, allowing the mitigation to be enabled or disabled at
will for this particular thread.
