[PATCH] arm64: cpufeature: Fix CLRBHB and BC detection

ClearBHB support is indicated by the CLRBHB field in ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1.
Following some refactoring the kernel incorrectly checks the BC field
instead. Fix the detection to use the right field.

(Note: The original ClearBHB support had it as FTR_HIGHER_SAFE, but this
patch uses FTR_LOWER_SAFE, which seems more correct.)

Also fix the detection of BC (hinted conditional branches) to use
FTR_LOWER_SAFE, so that it is not reported on mismatched systems.

Fixes: 356137e68a9f ("arm64/sysreg: Make BHB clear feature defines match the architecture")
Fixes: 8fcc8285c0e3 ("arm64/sysreg: Convert ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1 to automatic generation")
