[PATCH v3 09/22] arm64: capabilities: Split the processing of errata work arounds

Right now we run through the errata workarounds check on all boot
active CPUs, with SCOPE_ALL. This doesn't help with detecting the
errata's with a SYSTEM_SCOPE. While nobody uses it, let us clean
this up in preparation for merging capability handling.

So, we run the checks with SCOPE_LOCAL_CPU on all CPUs and SCOPE_SYSTEM
checks are run only once after all the boot time CPUs are active.
