arm64/cpufeature: check correct field width when updating sys_val



When we're updating a register's sys_val, we use arm64_ftr_value() to
find the new field value. We use cpuid_feature_extract_field() to find
the new value, but this implicitly assumes a 4-bit field, so we may
extract more bits than we mean to for fields like CTR_EL0.L1ip.

This affects update_cpu_ftr_reg(), where we may extract erroneous values
for ftr_cur and ftr_new. Depending on the additional bits extracted in
either case, we may erroneously detect that the value is mismatched, and
we'll try to compute a new safe value.

Dependent on these extra bits and feature type, arm64_ftr_safe_value()
may pessimistically select the always-safe value, or may erroneously
choose either the extracted cur or new value as the safe option. The
extra bits will subsequently be masked out in arm64_ftr_set_value(), so
we may choose a higher value, yet write back a lower one.

Fix this by passing the width down explicitly in arm64_ftr_value(), so
we always extract the correct amount.
