arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround once more

[ Upstream commit 081eb7932c2b244f63317a982c5e3990e2c7fbdd ]

A number of Arm Ltd CPUs suffer from errata whereby an MSR to the SSBS
special-purpose register does not affect subsequent speculative
instructions, permitting speculative store bypassing for a window of
time.

We worked around this for a number of CPUs in commits:

* 7187bb7d0b5c7dfa ("arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417")
* 75b3c43eab594bfb ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround")
* 145502cac7ea70b5 ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround (again)")

Since then, a (hopefully final) batch of updates have been published,
with two more affected CPUs. For the affected CPUs the existing
mitigation is sufficient, as described in their respective Software
Developer Errata Notice (SDEN) documents:

* Cortex-A715 (MP148) SDEN v15.0, erratum 3456084
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2148827/1500/

* Neoverse-N3 (MP195) SDEN v5.0, erratum 3456111
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-3050973/0500/



Enable the existing mitigation by adding the relevant MIDRs to
erratum_spec_ssbs_list, and update silicon-errata.rst and the
Kconfig text accordingly.
