[PATCH] LoongArch: Show CPU vulnerabilites correctly

[PATCH] LoongArch: Show CPU vulnerabilites correctly

[Huacai Chen]

Most LoongArch processors are vulnerable to Spectre-V1 Proof-of-Concept
(PoC). And the generic mechanism, __user pointer sanitization, can be
used as a mitigation. This means to use array_index_nospec() to prevent
out of boundry access in syscall and other critical paths.

Implement the arch-specific cpu_show_spectre_v1() to show CPU Spectre-V1
vulnerabilites correctly.
