x86/speculation: Fix redundant MDS mitigation message
commit cd5a2aa89e847bdda7b62029d94e95488d73f6b2 upstream. Since MDS and TAA mitigations are inter-related for processors that are affected by both vulnerabilities, the followiing confusing messages can be printed in the kernel log: MDS: Vulnerable MDS: Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers To avoid the first incorrect message, defer the printing of MDS mitigation after the TAA mitigation selection has been done. However, that has the side effect of printing TAA mitigation first before MDS mitigation. [ bp: Check box is affected/mitigations are disabled first before printing and massage. ] Suggested-by: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: "H.
