[PATCH v4 13/21] arm64: cpufeature: Enable IESB on exception entry/return for firmware-first

ARM v8.2 has a feature to add implicit error synchronization barriers
whenever the CPU enters or returns from an exception level. Add code to
detect this feature and enable the SCTLR_ELx.IESB bit.

This feature causes RAS errors that are not yet visible to software to
become pending SErrors. We expect to have firmware-first RAS support
so synchronised RAS errors will be take immediately to EL3.
Any system without firmware-first handling of errors will take the SError
either immediatly after exception return, or when we unmask SError after
entry.S's work.

Platform level RAS support may require additional firmware support.

Note the sneaky KVM change,

Changes since v3:
 * removed IESB Kconfig option
