[PATCH] arm64: errata: Fix handling of 1418040 with late CPU onlining

In a surprising turn of events, it transpires that CPU capabilities
configured as ARM64_CPUCAP_WEAK_LOCAL_CPU_FEATURE are never set as the
result of late-onlining. Therefore our handling of erratum 1418040 does
not get activated if it is not required by any of the boot CPUs, even
though we allow late-onlining of an affected CPU.
In order to get things working again, replace the cpus_have_const_cap()
invocation with an explicit check for the current CPU using
this_cpu_has_cap().

Found by code inspection and compile-tested only, so I would really
appreciate a second look.
