__read_sysreg_by_encoding() is used by a bunch of cpufeature helpers,
which should take the feature override into account. Let's do that.

For a good measure (and because we are likely to need to further
down the line), make this helper available to the rest of the
non-modular kernel.

Code that needs to know the *real* features of a CPU can still
use read_sysreg_s(), and find the bare, ugly truth.

Ah, now the previous patch makes more sense. I don't particularly like
this but I can't tell how to work around it. I was hoping that the
overriding feature behaves more like a secondary CPU that limits all the
overridden features. However, this approach would fail for FTR_EXACT
cases (like PAC, though I wonder whether it fails already with your
previous patch since the boot CPU value won't match the override, hence
dropping to the safe one).
