LoongArch: Enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support
Currently, many architectures support generic CPU vulnerabilites, such as x86, arm64 and riscv: commit 61dc0f55 ("x86/cpu: Implement CPU vulnerabilites sysfs functions") commit 61ae1321 ("arm64: enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support") commit 0e3f3649 ("riscv: Enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support") All LoongArch CPUs (since Loongson-3A5000) implement a special mechanism in the processor core to prevent "Meltdown" and "Spectre" attacks, so it can enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support for LoongArch too. Without this patch, there are no user interfaces of vulnerabilities to check on LoongArch. The output of those files reflects the state of the CPUs in the system, the output value "Not affected" means "CPU is not affected by the vulnerability".
