Subject: [Variant 1/Spectre-v1] arm64: barrier: Add CSDB macros to control data-value prediction

From: Will Deacon <[email protected]>

Commit 669474e772b9 upstream.

For CPUs capable of data value prediction, CSDB waits for any outstanding predictions to architecturally resolve before allowing speculative execution to continue. Provide macros to expose it to the arch code.
