Cortex-A15 does not support FEAT_CSV2 so the existing workaround for
Spectre V2 is sufficient to mitigate against Spectre BHB attacks,
however the code needed to be updated to work with the new build flag.
Also, some code was refactored several years ago and not updated in
the Cortex-A15 library file so this patch fixes that as well.

This erratum can only be worked around on revisions >= r3p0 because the
register that needs to be accessed only exists in those revisions[1].

A per-cpu vbar is installed that implements the workaround by
invalidating the branch target buffer (BTB) directly in the case of A9
and A17 and indirectly by invalidating the icache in the case of A15.
For Cortex A57 and A72 there is currently no workaround implemented
when EL3 is in AArch32 mode so report it as missing.
For other vulnerable CPUs (e.g. Cortex A73 and Cortex A75), there are
no changes since there is currently no upstream AArch32 EL3 support
for these CPUs.
