s390: add automatic detection of the spectre defense
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768474 [ Upstream commit 6e179d64 ] Automatically decide between nobp vs. expolines if the spectre_v2=auto kernel parameter is specified or CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y is set. The decision made at boot time due to CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y being set can be overruled with the nobp, nospec and spectre_v2 kernel parameters.
