x86/kvm: Update spectre-v1 mitigation

Commit 75f139aa

 "KVM: x86: Add memory barrier on vmcs field lookup"
added a raw 'asm("lfence");' to prevent a bounds check bypass of
'vmcs_field_to_offset_table'.

The lfence can be avoided in this path by using the array_index_nospec()
helper designed for these types of fixes.
