Subject: [PATCH 4.9 10/66] arm64: barrier: Add CSDB macros to control data-value prediction

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 669474e772b952b14f4de4845a1558fd4c0414a4 upstream.

For CPUs capable of data value prediction, CSDB waits for any outstanding
predictions to architecturally resolve before allowing speculative execution
to continue. Provide macros to expose it to the arch code.
