Subject: [PATCH 3/3] arm64: Add work around for Arm Cortex-A55 Erratum 1024718

Some variants of the Arm Cortex-55 cores (r0p0, r0p1, r1p0) suffer
from an erratum 1024718, which causes incorrect updates when DBM/AP
bits in a page table entry is modified without a break-before-make
sequence. The work around is to disable the hardware DBM feature
on the affected cores. The hardware Access Flag management features
is not affected.

The hardware DBM feature is a non-conflicting capability, i.e, the
kernel could handle cores using the feature and those without having
the features running at the same time. So this work around is detected
at early boot time, rather than delaying it until the CPUs are brought
up into the kernel with MMU turned on. This also avoids other complexities
with late CPUs turning online, with or without the hardware DBM features.
