[Patch v7 14/18] x86/speculation: Add 'seccomp' Spectre v2 app to app protection mode

If 'prctl' mode of app2app protection from spectre_v2 is selected on
kernel command-line, we are currently applying STIBP protection to
tasks that restrict their indirect branch speculation via
prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIR_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_ENABLE, 0, 0);
Let's extend this to cover also SECCOMP tasks (analogically to how we
apply SSBD protection).
According to software guidance:
"Setting ... STIBP ... on a logical processor prevents the predicted
targets of indirect branches on any logical processor of that core
from being controlled by software that executes (or executed
previously) on another logical processor of the same core."
https://software.intel.com/security-software-guidance/insights/deep-dive-single-thread-indirect-branch-predictors
Hence setting STIBP on a sandboxed task will prevent the task
from attacking other sibling threads or getting attacked.

If the CPU is not vulnerable, "off" is selected.
If the CPU is vulnerable, the default mitigation
- is "prctl".
+ is architecture and Kconfig dependent. See below.
prctl - Enable mitigations per thread by restricting
indirect branch speculation via prctl.
Mitigation for a thread is not enabled by default to
avoid mitigation overhead. The state of
of the control is inherited on fork.

+ If CONFIG_SECCOMP=y "seccomp", otherwise "prctl"
Not specifying this option is equivalent to
spectre_v2_app2app=auto.
