[PATCH 6/6] arm64: errata: Add a commandline option to enable/disable #2701951

[James Morse]

Erratum #2701951 affects the FWB feature in a number of CPUs, but is
only going to be visible on parts that don't use an arm interconnect.
This is not something the operating system can discover, it has to
be described by platform firmware.

The firmware discovery API is not deployed on existing systems.

Add a commandline option to allow the workaround to override the
value from firmware, or provide a value if the firmware is not
implemented.

The property is named arm64.arm-interconnect, as this is the
description in the 'configurations affected' section of the erratum.
