      Pull STIBP fallout fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "The performance destruction department finally got it's act together
        and came up with a cure for the STIPB regression:
      
         - Provide a command line option to control the spectre v2 user space
           mitigations. Default is either seccomp or prctl (if seccomp is
           disabled in Kconfig). prctl allows mitigation opt-in, seccomp
           enables the migitation for sandboxed processes.
      
         - Rework the code to handle the conditional STIBP/IBPB control and
           remove the now unused ptrace_may_access_sched() optimization
           attempt
      
         - Disable STIBP automatically when SMT is disabled
      
         - Optimize the switch_to() logic to avoid MSR writes and invocations
           of __switch_to_xtra().
      
         - Make the asynchronous speculation TIF updates synchronous to
           prevent stale mitigation state.
      
        As a general cleanup this also makes retpoline directly depend on
        compiler support and removes the 'minimal retpoline' option which just
        pretended to provide some form of security while providing none"
