SPEC_CTRL is an MSR, i.e. a 64-bit value, but the assembly code
assumes bits 63:32 are always zero. The bug is _currently_ benign
because neither KVM nor the kernel support setting any of bits 63:32,
but it's still a bug that needs to be fixed

Fixes: 07853adc29a0 ("KVM: VMX: Prevent RSB underflow before vmenter")
