When the control of the selected speculation misbehavior is unsupported,
the kernel should return ENODEV according to the documentation:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/userspace-api/spec_ctrl.html
Current aarch64 implementation of SSB control sometimes returns EINVAL
which is reserved for unimplemented prctl and for violations of reserved
arguments. This change makes the aarch64 implementation consistent with
the x86 implementation and with the documentation.

Fix ssbd.c which depends implicitly on asm/ptrace.h including
linux/prctl.h (through for example linux/compat.h, then linux/time.h,
linux/seqlock.h, linux/spinlock.h and linux/irqflags.h), and uses
PR_SPEC* defines.
This is an issue since we'll soon be removing the include from
asm/ptrace.h.

On CPUs with support for PSTATE.SSBS, the kernel can toggle the SSBD
state without needing to call into firmware.
This patch hooks into the existing SSBD infrastructure so that SSBS is
used on CPUs that support it, but it's all made horribly complicated by
the very real possibility of big/little systems that don't uniformly
provide the new capability.

Now that we're all merged nicely into mainline, there's no need to check
to see if PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS is defined.

If running on a system that performs dynamic SSBD mitigation, allow
userspace to request the mitigation for itself. This is implemented
as a prctl call, allowing the mitigation to be enabled or disabled at
will for this particular thread.
