feat(errata): implement workaround for DSU-120 erratum 2900952
DSU Erratum 2900952 is a Cat B erratum that applies to some DSU-120 implementations of revision r2p0 and is fixed in r2p1. This erratum is fixed in certain implementations of r2p0 which can be determined by reading the IMP_CLUSTERREVIDR_EL1[1] register field where a set bit indicates that the erratum is fixed in this part.
The workaround is to set the CLUSTERACTLR_EL1 bits [21:20] to 0x3 which ignores CBusy from the system interconnect and setting CLUSTERACTLR_EL1 bit [8] to 1 to assert CBusy from DSU to all the cores when DSU is busy.

perf(mpmm): greatly simplify MPMM enablement
MPMM is a core-specific microarchitectural feature. It has been present in every Arm core since the Cortex-A510 and has been implemented in exactly the same way. Despite that, it is enabled more like an architectural feature with a top level enable flag. This utilised the identical implementation.
This duality has left MPMM in an awkward place, where its enablement should be generic, like an architectural feature, but since it is not, it should also be core-specific if it ever changes. One choice to do this has been through the device tree.
This has worked just fine so far, however, recent implementations expose a weakness in that this is rather slow - the device tree has to be read, there's a long call stack of functions with many branches, and system registers are read. In the hot path of PSCI CPU powerdown, this has a significant and measurable impact. Besides it being a rather large amount of code that is difficult to understand.
Since MPMM is a microarchitectural feature, its correct placement is in the reset function. The essence of the current enablement is to write CPUPPMCR_EL3.MPMM_EN if CPUPPMCR_EL3.MPMMPINCTL == 0. Replacing the C enablement with an assembly macro in each CPU's reset function achieves the same effect with just a single close branch and a grand total of 6 instructions (versus the old 2 branches and 32 instructions).
Having done this, the device tree entry becomes redundant. Should a core that doesn't support MPMM arise, this can cleanly be handled in the reset function. As such, the whole ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF and platform hooks mechanisms become obsolete and are removed.

perf(cpus): make reset errata do fewer branches
Errata application is painful for performance. For a start, it's done when the core has just come out of reset, which means branch predictors and caches will be empty so a branch to a workaround function must be fetched from memory and that round trip is very slow. Then it also runs with the I-cache off, which means that the loop to iterate over the workarounds must also be fetched from memory on each iteration.
We can remove both branches. First, we can simply apply every erratum directly instead of defining a workaround function and jumping to it. Currently, no errata that need to be applied at both reset and runtime, with the same workaround function, exist. If the need arose in future, this should be achievable with a reset + runtime wrapper combo.
Then, we can construct a function that applies each erratum linearly instead of looping over the list. If this function is part of the reset function, then the only "far" branches at reset will be for the checker functions. Importantly, this mitigates the slowdown even when an erratum is disabled.
The result is ~50% speedup on N1SDP and ~20% on AArch64 Juno on wakeup from PSCI calls that end in powerdown. This is roughly back to the baseline of v2.9, before the errata framework regressed on performance (or a little better). It is important to note that there are other slowdowns since then that remain unknown.

The workaround is for EL3 software that performs context save/restore on a change of Security state to use a value of SCR_EL3.NS when accessing ICH_VMCR_EL2 that reflects the Security state that owns the data being saved or restored.
