Geert Uytterhoeven 801d8a25b8 cpu/speculation: Warn on unsupported mitigations= parameter ...

commit 1bf7272028 upstream.

Currently, if the user specifies an unsupported mitigation strategy on the
kernel command line, it will be ignored silently.  The code will fall back
to the default strategy, possibly leaving the system more vulnerable than
expected.

This may happen due to e.g. a simple typo, or, for a stable kernel release,
because not all mitigation strategies have been backported.

Inform the user by printing a message.

Fixes: 98af845294 ("cpu/speculation: Add 'mitigations=' cmdline option")
