[RFC PATCH v3 04/16] arm64: Introduce CPU SPE feature

Detect Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE) support using the cpufeatures
framework. The presence of SPE is reported via the ARM64_SPE capability.
The feature will be necessary for emulating SPE in KVM, because KVM needs
that all CPUs have SPE hardware to avoid scheduling a VCPU on a CPU without
support. For this reason, the feature type ARM64_CPUCAP_SYSTEM_FEATURE has
been selected to disallow hotplugging a CPU which doesn't support SPE.
