powerpc/pseries: Restore default security feature flags on setup

commit 6232774f upstream.

After migration the security feature flags might have changed (e.g.,
destination system with unpatched firmware), but some flags are not
set/clear again in init_cpu_char_feature_flags() because it assumes
the security flags to be the defaults.

Additionally, if the H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall fails then
init_cpu_char_feature_flags() does not run again, which potentially
might leave the system in an insecure or sub-optimal configuration.

So, just restore the security feature flags to the defaults assumed
by init_cpu_char_feature_flags() so it can set/clear them correctly,
and to ensure safe settings are in place in case the hypercall fail.

Fixes: f636c147 ("powerpc/pseries: Set or clear security feature flags")
Depends-on: 19887d6a28e2 ("powerpc: Move default security feature flags")
