selftests/powerpc/spectre_v2: Return skip code when miss_percent is high
A mis-match between reported and actual mitigation is not restricted to the Vulnerable case. The guest might also report the mitigation as "Software count cache flush" and the host will still mitigate with branch cache disabled. So, instead of skipping depending on the detected mitigation, simply skip whenever the detected miss_percent is the expected one for a fully mitigated system, that is, above 95%.
