[RFC PATCH 4/7] arm64: cpufeature: Enable PBHA bits for stage1

If the CPUs support HPDS2, and there is a DT description of PBHA values
that only affect performance, enable those bits for both TTBR0 and TTBR1.

Enabling PBHA requires the hierarchical-permissions to be disabled.
Commit 87143f404f33 ("arm64: mm: use XN table mapping attributes for
the linear region") used these, but only as an optimisation.

Only the necessary PBHA bits are enabled to reduce the risk of an
unsafe bit/value being used by accident.
