[PATCH 4.19 75/96] x86/speculation: Prevent deadlock on ssb_state::lock

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 2f5fb19341883bb6e37da351bc3700489d8506a7 upstream.

Mikhail reported a lockdep splat related to the AMD specific ssb_state
lock:

CPU0 CPU1
lock(&st->lock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);
lock(&st->lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);

*** DEADLOCK ***

The connection between sighand->siglock and st->lock comes through seccomp,
which takes st->lock while holding sighand->siglock.

Make sure interrupts are disabled when __speculation_ctrl_update() is
invoked via prctl() -> speculation_ctrl_update(). Add a lockdep assert to
catch future offenders.
