Subject: arm64: cpufeature: Fix CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC taint for uniform systems

Git-commit: 8dd0ee651d8aefdc2d8ae0fcc9c68dfc943c9e4c
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
References: fate#325862

Commit 3fde2999fac5 ("arm64: cpufeature: Don't dump useless backtrace on
CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC") changed the cpufeature detection code to use add_taint
instead of WARN_TAINT_ONCE when detecting a heterogeneous system with
mismatched feature support. Unfortunately, this resulted in all systems
getting the taint, regardless of any feature mismatch.

This patch fixes the problem by conditionalising the taint on detecting
a feature mismatch.
