Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Check for errata before evaluating cpu features

From: Dirk Mueller <dmueller@...e.com>

Since commit d3aec8a28be3b8 ("arm64: capabilities: Restrict KPTI
detection to boot-time CPUs") we rely on errata flags being already
populated during feature enumeration. The order of errata and
features was flipped as part of commit ed478b3f9e4a ("arm64:
capabilities: Group handling of features and errata workarounds").

Return to the orginal order of errata and feature evaluation to
ensure errata flags are present during feature evaluation.

Fixes: ed478b3f9e4a ("arm64: capabilities: Group handling of
    features and errata workarounds")
