KVM: arm64: Advertise ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.CSV3=1 if the CPUs are Meltdown-safe
Cores that predate the introduction of ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.CSV3 to the ARMv8 architecture have this field set to 0, even of some of them are not affected by the vulnerability. The kernel maintains a list of unaffected cores (A53, A55 and a few others) so that it doesn't impose an expensive mitigation uncessarily. As we do for CSV2, let's expose the CSV3 property to guests that run on HW that is effectively not vulnerable. This can be reset to zero by writing to the ID register from userspace, ensuring that VMs can be migrated despite the new property being set.
