Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Set right value of Speculation_Store_Bypass in /proc/<pid>/status

The issue has showed the value of status of Speculation_Store_Bypass in the
/proc/<pid>/status as `unknown` for PowerPC systems.

The patch fix the checking of the mitigation status of Speculation, and
can be reported as "not vulnerable", "globally mitigated" or "vulnerable".
