arm64: errata: Fix KVM Spectre-v2 mitigation selection for Cortex-A57/A72

Both the Spectre-v2 and Spectre-BHB mitigations involve running a sequence
immediately after exiting a guest, before any branches. In the stable
kernels these sequences are built by copying templates into an empty vector
slot.

For Spectre-BHB, Cortex-A57 and A72 require the branchy loop with k=8.
If Spectre-v2 needs mitigating at the same time, a firmware call to EL3 is
needed. The work EL3 does at this point is also enough to mitigate
Spectre-BHB.

When enabling the Spectre-BHB mitigation, spectre_bhb_enable_mitigation()
should check if a slot has already been allocated for Spectre-v2, meaning
no work is needed for Spectre-BHB.

This check was missed in the earlier backport, add it.
