x86/speculation: Prepare for per task indirect branch speculation control

commit 5bfbe3ad5840d941b89bcac54b821ba14f50a0ba upstream

To avoid the overhead of STIBP always on, it's necessary to allow per task
control of STIBP.

Add a new task flag TIF_SPEC_IB and evaluate it during context switch if
SMT is active and flag evaluation is enabled by the speculation control
code. Add the conditional evaluation to x86_virt_spec_ctrl() as well so the
guest/host switch works properly.

This has no effect because TIF_SPEC_IB cannot be set yet and the static key
which controls evaluation is off. Preparatory patch for adding the control
code.

[ tglx: Simplify the context switch logic and make the TIF evaluation
   depend on SMP=y and on the static key controlling the conditional
   update. Rename it to TIF_SPEC_IB because it controls both STIBP and
   IBPB ]
