In order to be able to override CPU features at boot time,
let's add a command line parser that matches options of the
form "cpureg.feature=value", and store the corresponding
value into the override val/mask pair.

No features are currently defined, so no expected change in
functionality.

arm64 descends into each vdso directory twice; first in vdso_prepare,
second during the ordinary build process.

PPC mimicked it and uncovered a problem [1]. In the first descend,
Kbuild directly visits the vdso directories, therefore it does not
inherit subdir-ccflags-y from upper directories.

This means the command line parameters may differ between the two.
If it happens, the offset values in the generated headers might be
different from real offsets of vdso.so in the kernel.

This potential danger should be avoided. The vdso directories are
built in the vdso_prepare stage, so the second descend is unneeded.

As part of the spectre consolidation effort to shift all of the ghosts
into their own proton pack, move all of the horrible SSBD prctl() code
out of its own 'ssbd.c' file.

The spectre mitigations are too configurable for their own good, leading
to confusing logic trying to figure out when we should mitigate and when
we shouldn't. Although the plethora of command-line options need to stick
around for backwards compatibility, the default-on CONFIG options that
depend on EXPERT can be dropped, as the mitigations only do anything if
the system is vulnerable, a mitigation is available and the command-line
hasn't disabled it.

Remove CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR and CONFIG_ARM64_SSBD in favour of
enabling this code unconditionally.

TEXT_OFFSET serves no purpose, and for this reason, it was redefined
as 0x0 in the v5.8 timeframe. Since this does not appear to have caused
any issues that require us to revisit that decision, let's get rid of the
macro entirely, along with any references to it.
