[PATCH v2] ARM: errata: Remove SMP dependency for erratum 751472

Activation conditions for a workaround should not be encoded in the
workaround's direct dependencies if this makes otherwise reasonable
configuration choices impossible.
This patches uses the SMP/UP patching facilities instead to compile
out the workaround if the configuration means that it is definitely
not needed.
This means that configs for buggy silicon can simply select
ARM_ERRATA_751472, without preventing a UP kernel from being built
or duplicatiing knowledge about when to activate the workaround.
This seems the correct why to do things, because the erratum is a
property of the silicon, irrespective of what the kernel config
happens to be.

Changes since v1:
v2: Fix incorrect use of ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP_B(): they must be used in
the correct order, otherwise the fixup will reference the wrong
ALT_SMP() block and get applied in the wrong place.
Make the whole erratum workaround #ifdef CONFIG_SMP so that we
don't leave some dead code and an unnecessary branch in the
image when building a uniprocessor kernel.

This option enables the workaround for the 751472 Cortex-A9 (prior
to r3p0) erratum. An interrupted ICIALLUIS operation may prevent the
