powerpc/fsl: Flush the branch predictor at each kernel entry (32 bit)

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830176

commit 7fef4362 upstream.

In order to protect against speculation attacks on
indirect branches, the branch predictor is flushed at
kernel entry to protect for the following situations:
- userspace process attacking another userspace process
- userspace process attacking the kernel
Basically when the privillege level change (i.e.the kernel
is entered), the branch predictor state is flushed.
