[PATCH] x86/kvm: Update spectre-v1 mitigation

From: Dan Williams
Date: Wed Jan 31 2018 - 20:56:20 EST


Commit 75f139aaf896 "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'. We can save an lfence in this path and
just use the common array_index_nospec() helper designed for these types
of fixes.
