arm64: kpti: Whitelist Cortex-A CPUs that don't implement the CSV3 field



commit 2a355ec2 upstream.

While the CSV3 field of the ID_AA64_PFR0 CPU ID register can be checked
to see if a CPU is susceptible to Meltdown and therefore requires kpti
to be enabled, existing CPUs do not implement this field.

We therefore whitelist all unaffected Cortex-A CPUs that do not implement
the CSV3 field.
