[PATCH 4.14 24/34] x86/speculation: Remove x86_spec_ctrl_mask

[Suraj Jitindar Singh <surajjs@amazon.com>]

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

commit acac5e98ef8d638a411cfa2ee676c87e1973f126 upstream.

This mask has been made redundant by kvm_spec_ctrl_test_value().  And it
doesn't even work when MSR interception is disabled, as the guest can
just write to SPEC_CTRL directly.
