[Patch v4 17/18] x86/speculation: Update SPEC_CTRL MSRs of remote CPUs

[Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>]

The SPEC_CTRL MSR of a remote CPU cannot be updated immediately when
TIF_STIBP flag is changed on a task running on the remote CPU.

If next task's TIF_STIBP flag happened to be the same as the updated
TIF_STIBP on the previous task on the next context switch, the SPEC_CTRL
MSR update is missed as the SPEC_CTRL MSR update occurs only on flag
changes, and update of the SPEC_CTRL MSR did not happen while previous
task was running.

This patch creates TIF_UPDATE_SPEC_CTRL bit and set it along with
TIF_STIBP bit update for tasks running on remote CPU. This signals that
the SPEC_CTRL MSR has a pending forced update on the next context
switch.
