Subject: [stable:PATCH v4.19.235 17/22] arm64: proton-pack: Report Spectre-BHB vulnerabilities as part of Spectre-v2

commit dee435be76f4117410bbd90573a881fd33488f37 upstream.

Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors can
make use of branch history to influence future speculation as part of
a spectre-v2 attack. This is not mitigated by CSV2, meaning CPUs that
previously reported 'Not affected' are now moderately mitigated by CSV2.

Update the value in /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2
to also show the state of the BHB mitigation.

[ code move to cpu_errata.c for backport ]
