[RFC PATCH v7 16/23] arch/x86: Add a new TIF flag for untrusted tasks

[Julien Desfossez]

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a new TIF flag to indicate whether the kernel needs to be careful
and take additional steps to mitigate micro-architectural issues during
entry into user or guest mode.

This new flag will be used by the series to determine if waiting is
needed or not, during exit to user or guest mode.
