[PATCH] x86/CPU/AMD: Rename the spectral chicken

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Tue Apr 25 2023 - 15:50:46 EST


From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@xxxxxxxxx>

We've had enough fun with the spectral chicken bit - name it what it
really does: it suppresses non-branch predictions.

Rename defines to make it clear that it is Zen2 only.

No functional changes.
