Various minor clean-ups and bug fixes related to mitigations.
Patches 1-3 focus on cleaning up parameter parsing. Most mitigations use
early_param but a few older ones do not and look at boot_command_line
directly. Modify these to be consistent with the newer ones.
Patch 4 cleans up some straggling unecessary calls to
cpu_mitigations_off().
Patches 5-7 (new in this version of the series) fix some minor bugs related
to the behavior of and reporting of certain command line options.
Note that v2 of this series included a patch for SSB attack vector controls
but this has already been merged.
