arm64: Add support for SB barrier and patch in over DSB; ISB sequences
[ Upstream commit bd4fb6d270bc423a9a4098108784f7f9254c4e6d ] We currently use a DSB; ISB sequence to inhibit speculation in set_fs(). Whilst this works for current CPUs, future CPUs may implement a new SB barrier instruction which acts as an architected speculation barrier. On CPUs that support it, patch in an SB; NOP sequence over the DSB; ISB sequence and advertise the presence of the new instruction to userspace.
