[PATCH 4/5] arm64: errata: Unify speculative SSBS errata logic

Cortex-X4 erratum 3194386 and Neoverse-V3 erratum 3312417 are identical,
with duplicate Kconfig text and some unsightly ifdeffery. While we try
to share code behind CONFIG_ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_SSBS, having
separate options results in a fair amount of boilerplate code, and this
will only get worse as we expand the set of affected CPUs.

To reduce this boilerplate, unify the two behind a common Kconfig
option. This removes the duplicate text and Kconfig logic, and removes
the need for the intermediate ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_SSBS option.
The set of affected CPUs is described as a list so that this can easily
be extended.

I've used ARM64_ERRATUM_3194386 (matching the Neoverse-V3 erratum ID) as
the common option, matching the way we use ARM64_ERRATUM_1319367 to
cover Cortex-A57 erratum 1319537 and Cortex-A72 erratum 1319367.
