s390: add options to change branch prediction behaviour for the kernel
Add the PPA instruction to the system entry and exit path to switch the kernel to a different branch prediction behaviour. The instructions are added via CPU alternatives and can be disabled with the "nospec" or the "nobp=0" kernel parameter. If the default behaviour selected with CONFIG_KERNEL_NOBP is set to "n" then the "nobp=1" parameter can be used to enable the changed kernel branch prediction.
