[PATCH v3 03/13] arm64: cpufeature: Correctly display signed override values

When a field gets overriden, the kernel indicates the result of
the override in dmesg. This works well with unsigned fields, but
results in a pretty ugly output when the field is signed.

Truncate the field to its width before displaying it.
