arm64: Add 'ssbd' command-line option

On a system where the firmware implements ARCH_WORKAROUND_2,
it may be useful to either permanently enable or disable the
workaround for cases where the user decides that they'd rather
not get a trap overhead, and keep the mitigation permanently
on or off instead of switching it on exception entry/exit.

In any case, default to the mitigation being enabled.

Speculative Store Bypass Disable control
On CPUs that are vulnerable to the Speculative
Store Bypass vulnerability and offer a
firmware based mitigation, this parameter
indicates how the mitigation should be used:
force-on: Unconditionally enable mitigation for
for both kernel and userspace
force-off: Unconditionally disable mitigation for
for both kernel and userspace
kernel: Always enable mitigation in the
kernel, and offer a prctl interface
to allow userspace to register its
interest in being mitigated too.
