Like I had mentioned in the previous patch, these descriptions here could
be just factored out inside ARM64_WORKAROUND_TSB_FLUSH_FAILURE instead.

This adds all the required bits of these erratas in a single patch,
where as the previous work around had split all the required pieces
into multiple patches. Could we instead follow the same standard in
both the places ?
