Subject: [PATCH] arch/Kconfig: Move SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS to arch/Kconfig

SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is currently defined only for x86. As a result,
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS) is always false for other
archs. f337a6a21e2f effectively set "mitigations=off" by default on
non-x86 archs, which is not desired behavior. Jakub observed this
change when running bpf selftests on s390 and arm64.

Fix this by moving SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS to arch/Kconfig so that it is
available in all archs and thus can be used safely in kernel/cpu.c

Fixes: f337a6a21e2f ("x86/cpu: Actually turn off mitigations by default for SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n")
