[PATCH 4.9 071/102] arm64: Turn on KPTI only on CPUs that need it

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jayachandran C <jnair@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0ba2e29c7fc1 upstream.

Whitelist Broadcom Vulcan/Cavium ThunderX2 processors in
unmap_kernel_at_el0(). These CPUs are not vulnerable to
CVE-2017-5754 and do not need KPTI when KASLR is off.
