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.
Applied to powerpc/next.
