Subject: [PATCH v2 10/20] arm64: capabilities: Restrict KPTI detection to boot-time CPUs

KPTI is treated as a system wide feature, where we enable the feature
when all the CPUs on the system suffers from the security vulnerability,
unless it is forced via kernel command line. Also, if a late CPU needs
KPTI but KPTI was not enabled at boot time, the CPU is currently allowed
to boot, which is a potential security vulnerability.  This patch ensures
that late CPUs are rejected as appropriate if they need KPTI but it wasn't
enabled.
