Currently there is no way to disable GDS mitigation at build time.
The current config option (GDS_MITIGATION_FORCE) just enables a more
drastic mitigation.
Create a new kernel config that allows GDS to be completely disabled,
similarly to the "gather_data_sampling=off" or "mitigations=off" kernel
command-line. Move the GDS_MITIGATION_FORCE under this new mitigation.

Currently, the CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is halfway populated,
where some mitigations have entries in Kconfig, and they could be
modified, while others mitigations do not have Kconfig entries, and
could not be controlled at build time.
Create an entry for each CPU mitigation under
CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS. This allow users to enable or disable
them at compilation time.

Change the default value of spectre v2 in user mode to respect the
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 config option.
Currently, user mode spectre v2 is set to auto
(SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) by default, even if
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 is disabled.
Set the Spectre_v2 value to auto (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) if the
Spectre v2 config (CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2) is enabled, otherwise
set the value to none (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_NONE).
Important to say the command line argument "spectre_v2_user" overwrites
the default value in both cases.
