[PATCH v2 08/17] arm64: Add erratum detection for TRBE overwrite in FILL mode

Arm Neoverse-N2 and the Cortex-A710 cores are affected
by a CPU erratum where the TRBE will overwrite the trace buffer
in FILL mode. The TRBE doesn't stop (as expected in FILL mode)
when it reaches the limit and wraps to the base to continue
writing upto 3 cache lines. This will overwrite any trace that
was written previously.

Add the Neoverse-N2 erratumi(#2139208) and Cortex-A710 erratum
(#2119858) to the  detection logic.

This will be used by the TRBE driver in later patches to work
around the issue. The detection has been kept with the core
arm64 errata framework list to make sure :
  - We don't duplicate the framework in TRBE driver
  - The errata detection is advertised like the rest
    of the CPU errata.

Note that the Kconfig entries will be added after we have added
the work around in the TRBE driver, which depends on the cpucap
from here.
