[patch V2 12/28] x86/l1tf: Show actual SMT state

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun Nov 25 2018 - 13:58:44 EST


Use the now exposed real SMT state, not the SMT sysfs control knob
state. This reflects the state of the system when the mitigation status is
queried.

This does not change the warning in the VMX launch code. There the
dependency on the control knob makes sense because siblings could be
brought online anytime after launching the VM.
