ARM: 9434/1: cfi: Fix compilation corner case

When enabling expert mode CONFIG_EXPERT and using that power
user mode to disable the branch prediction hardening
!CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR, the assembly linker
in CLANG notices that some assembly in proc-v7.S does
not have corresponding C call sites, i.e. the prototypes
in proc-v7-bugs.c are enclosed in ifdef
CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR so this assembly:

SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START(cpu_v7_smc_switch_mm)
SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START(cpu_v7_hvc_switch_mm)

Results in:

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_cpu_v7_smc_switch_mm
>>> referenced by proc-v7.S:94 (.../arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S:94)
>>> arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.o:(.text+0x108) in archive vmlinux.a

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_cpu_v7_hvc_switch_mm
>>> referenced by proc-v7.S:105 (.../arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S:105)
>>> arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.o:(.text+0x124) in archive vmlinux.a

Fix this by adding an additional requirement that
CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR has to be enabled to compile
these assembly calls.
