Implement the SSBD (CVE-2018-3639) workaround on arm64
This calls into the Arm Trusted Firmware to enable and disable the
workaround for the Speculative Store Bypass Disable (SSBD) issue, also
known as Spectre Variant 4.
As this may have a large performance overhead, and how exploitable SSBD is
is unknown we follow the Linux lead of allowing the administrator to select
between always on, always off, or only enabled in the kernel, with the
latter being the default.
