SMCC_WORKAROUND_3 is handling both Spectre v2 and spectre BHB.
So when a guest is asking if we support workaround 1, tell yes if we
apply workaround 3 on exception entry as it handles it.
This will allow guests not supporting Spectre BHB but impacted by
spectre v2 to still handle it correctly.
The modified behaviour is coherent with what the Linux kernel does in
KVM for guests.
While there use ARM_SMCCC_SUCCESS instead of 0 for the return code value
for workaround detection to be coherent with Workaround 2 handling.
