Add commandline options spectre_v2 and nospectre_v2
These are named same as similar x86 options regardless of actual effect
to not require platform-specific configuration.
Supported options:
nospectre_v2 or spectre_v2=off - speculation barrier not used
spectre_v2=on or spectre_v2=auto - speculation barrier used
Changing the settings after boot is not supported and VM migration may
change requirements so auto is same as on.
Based on s390 implementation
