[PATCH 4.14 19/21] Revert "x86/speculation: Enable cross-hyperthread spectre v2 STIBP mitigation"

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit 8a13906ae519b3ed95cd0fb73f1098b46362f6c4 which is
commit 53c613fe6349994f023245519265999eed75957f upstream.

It's not ready for the stable trees as there are major slowdowns
involved with this patch.
