ARM: 8559/1: errata: Workaround erratum A12 821420

This erratum has a very simple workaround (set a bit in a register), so
let's apply it.  Apparently the workaround's downside is a very slight
power impact.

Note that applying this errata fixes deadlocks that are easy to
reproduce with real world applications.

The arguments for why this needs to be in the kernel are similar to the
arugments made in the patch "Workaround errata A12 818325/852422 A17
852423".

This option enables the workaround for the 821420 Cortex-A12
(all revs) erratum. In very rare timing conditions, a sequence
of VMOV to Core registers instructions, for which the second
one is in the shadow of a branch or abort, can lead to a
deadlock when the VMOV instructions are issued out-of-order.
