arm64: Treat SSBS as a non-strict system feature
If all CPUs discovered during boot have SSBS, then spectre-v4 will be considered to be "mitigated". However, we still allow late CPUs without SSBS to be onlined, albeit with a "SANITY CHECK" warning. This is problematic for userspace because it means that the system can quietly transition to "Vulnerable" at runtime. Avoid this by treating SSBS as a non-strict system feature: if all of the CPUs discovered during boot have SSBS, then late arriving secondaries better have it as well.
