s390: run user space and KVM guests with modified branch prediction
Define TIF_ISOLATE_BP and TIF_ISOLATE_BP_GUEST and add the necessary
plumbing in entry.S to be able to run user space and KVM guests with
limited branch prediction.
To switch a user space process to limited branch prediction the
s390_isolate_bp() function has to be call, and to run a vCPU of a KVM
guest associated with the current task with limited branch prediction
call s390_isolate_bp_guest().
