refactor(cpus): optimize CVE checking
This patch replaces the use of EXTRA functions with using erratum entries check to verify CVE mitigation application for some of the SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_* calls.
Previously, EXTRA functions were individually implemented for each SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_*, an approach that becomes unmanageable with the increasing number of workarounds. By looking up erratum entries for CVE check, the process is streamlined, reducing overhead associated with creating and maintaining EXTRA functions for each new workaround.
New Errata entries are created for SMC workarounds and that is used to target cpus that are uniquely impacted by SMC workarounds.

fix(errata): workaround for Cortex-A510 erratum 2971420
Cortex-A510 erratum 2971420 applies to revisions r0p1, r0p2, r0p3, r1p0, r1p1, r1p2 and r1p3, and is still open.
Under some conditions, data might be corrupted if Trace Buffer Extension (TRBE) is enabled. The workaround is to disable trace collection via TRBE by programming MDCR_EL3.NSTB[1] to the opposite value of SCR_EL3.NS on a security state switch. Since we only enable TRBE for non-secure world, the workaround is to disable TRBE by setting the NSTB field to 00 so accesses are trapped to EL3 and secure state owns the buffer.
