[PATCH v2 3/8] arm64: alternatives: proton-pack: prepare for cap changes

The spectre patching callbacks use cpus_have_final_cap(), and subsequent
patches will make it invalid to call cpus_have_final_cap() before
alternatives patching has completed.
In preparation for said change, this patch modifies the spectre patching
callbacks use cpus_have_cap(). This is not subject to patching, and will
dynamically check the cpu_hwcaps array, which is functionally equivalent
to the existing behaviour.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
