arm64: cpufeature: Force HWCAP to be based on the sysreg visible to user-space
arm64 advertises hardware features to user-space via HWCAPs, and by
emulating access to the CPUs id registers. The cpufeature code has a
sanitised system-wide view of an id register, and a sanitised user-space
view of an id register, where some features use their 'safe' value
instead of the hardware value.
It is currently possible for a HWCAP to be advertised where the user-space
view of the id register does not show the feature as supported.
Erratum workaround need to remove both the HWCAP, and the feature from
the user-space view of the id register. This involves duplicating the
code, and spreading it over cpufeature.c and cpu_errata.c.
Make the HWCAP code use the user-space view of id registers. This ensures
the values never diverge, and allows erratum workaround to remove HWCAP
by modifying the user-space view of the id register.
