x86/speculation: Fix prctl() when spectre_v2_user={seccomp,prctl},ibpb
commit 33fc379df76b4991e5ae312f07bcd6820811971e upstream. When spectre_v2_user={seccomp,prctl},ibpb is specified on the command line, IBPB is force-enabled and STIPB is conditionally-enabled (or not available). However, since 21998a351512 ("x86/speculation: Avoid force-disabling IBPB based on STIBP and enhanced IBRS.") the spectre_v2_user_ibpb variable is set to SPECTRE_V2_USER_{PRCTL,SECCOMP} instead of SPECTRE_V2_USER_STRICT, which is the actual behaviour. Because the issuing of IBPB relies on the switch_mm_*_ibpb static branches, the mitigations behave as expected. Since 1978b3a53a74 ("x86/speculation: Allow IBPB to be conditionally enabled on CPUs with always-on STIBP") this discrepency caused the misreporting of IB speculation via prctl(). On CPUs with STIBP always-on and spectre_v2_user=seccomp,ibpb, prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) would return PR_SPEC_PRCTL | PR_SPEC_ENABLE instead of PR_SPEC_DISABLE since both IBPB and STIPB are always on. It also allowed prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) to set the IB speculation mode, even though the flag is ignored. Similarly, for CPUs without SMT, prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) should also return PR_SPEC_DISABLE since IBPB is always on and STIBP is not available.
