[PATCH 4.14 014/185] arm64: kpti: Whitelist Cortex-A CPUs that dont implement the CSV3 field

commit 2a355ec25729053bb9a1a89b6c1d1cdd6c3b3fb1 upstream.
While the CSV3 field of the ID_AA64_PFR0 CPU ID register can be checked
to see if a CPU is susceptible to Meltdown and therefore requires kpti
to be enabled, existing CPUs do not implement this field.
We therefore whitelist all unaffected Cortex-A CPUs that do not implement
the CSV3 field.
