selftests/powerpc: Add test of mitigation patching
We recently discovered some of our mitigation patching was not safe against other CPUs running concurrently. Add a test which enable/disables all mitigations in a tight loop while also running some stress load. On an unpatched system this almost always leads to an oops and panic/reboot, but we also check if the kernel becomes tainted in case we have a non-fatal oops.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
