Subject: [PATCH 4.17 090/101] arm64: ssbd: Add global mitigation state accessor

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

------------------

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@....com>

commit c32e1736ca03904c03de0e4459a673be194f56fd upstream.

We're about to need the mitigation state in various parts of the
kernel in order to do the right thing for userspace and guests.

Let's expose an accessor that will let other subsystems know
about the state.
