[PATCH] Fix wrong message when RFI Flush is disable

[Gustavo Walbon]

From: "Gustavo L. F. Walbon" <gwalbon at linux.ibm.com>

The issue was showing "Mitigation" message via sysfs whatever the state of
"RFI Flush", but it should show "Vulnerable" when it is disabled.

If you have "L1D private" feature enabled and not "RFI Flush" you are
vulnerable to meltdown attacks.

"RFI Flush" is the key feature to mitigate the meltdown whatever the
"L1D private" state.

SEC_FTR_L1D_THREAD_PRIV is a feature for Power9 only.

So the message should be as the truth table shows.
CPU | L1D private | RFI Flush |                   sysfs               |
----| ----------- | --------- | ------------------------------------- |
 P9 |    False    |   False   | Vulnerable
 P9 |    False    |   True    | Mitigation: RFI Flush
 P9 |    True     |   False   | Vulnerable: L1D private per thread
 P9 |    True     |   True    | Mitigation: RFI Flush, L1D private per
    |             |           | thread
 P8 |    False    |   False   | Vulnerable
 P8 |    False    |   True    | Mitigation: RFI Flush

Output before this fix:
 # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
 Mitigation: RFI Flush, L1D private per thread
 # echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/rfi_flush
 # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
 Mitigation: L1D private per thread

Output after fix:
 # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
 Mitigation: RFI Flush, L1D private per thread
 # echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/rfi_flush
 # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
 Vulnerable: L1D private per thread
