Activation conditions for a workaround should not be encoded in the
workaround's direct dependencies if this makes otherwise reasonable
configuration choices impossible.

This patches uses the SMP/UP patching facilities instead to compile
out the workaround if the configuration means that it is definitely
not needed.

This means that configs for buggy silicon can simply select
ARM_ERRATA_751472, without preventing a UP kernel from being built
or duplicatiing knowledge about when to activate the workaround.
This seems the correct why to do things, because the erratum is a
property of the silicon, irrespective of what the kernel config
happens to be.

Changes since v1:

v2: Fix incorrect use of ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP_B(): they must be used in
    the correct order, otherwise the fixup will reference the wrong
    ALT_SMP() block and get applied in the wrong place.

    Make the whole erratum workaround #ifdef CONFIG_SMP so that we
    don't leave some dead code and an unnecessary branch in the
    image when building a uniprocessor kernel.
