[Patch v4 10/18] x86/speculation: Reorganize speculation control MSRs update

From: Tim Chen
Date: Tue Oct 30 2018 - 15:22:47 EST


This patch consolidates checks for prev and next task's flags change
relevant for speculation control MSRs update to __speculation_ctrl_update
function.

This makes it easy to pick the right speculation control MSR,
and the bits in the MSRs that need to be updated based on
TIF_* flags changes.
