[PATCH v2] arm64: Fix bit-shifting UB in the MIDR_CPU_MODEL() macro

CONFIG_UBSAN_SHIFT with gcc-5 complains that the shifting of
ARM_CPU_IMP_AMPERE (0xC0) into bits [31:24] by MIDR_CPU_MODEL() is
undefined behavior. Well, sort of, it actually spells the error as:

 arch/arm64/kernel/proton-pack.c: In function 'spectre_bhb_loop_affected':
 arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h:44:2: error: initializer element is not constant
   (((imp)   << MIDR_IMPLEMENTOR_SHIFT) | \
   ^

This isn't an issue for other Implementor codes, as all the other codes
have zero in the top bit and so are representable as a signed int.

Cast the implementor code to unsigned in MIDR_CPU_MODEL to remove the
undefined behavior.

Changes since v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221017210119.3581-1-scott@os.amperecomputing.com/):
- cast in MIDR_CPU_MODEL() instead of changing ARM_CPU_IMP_AMPERE
