[PATCH 15/14] x86/gds: Lock GDS mitigation when keylocker feature is present

[Pawan Gupta]

In order to safely enable Intel Keylocker feature, Gather Data Sampling
(GDS) mitigation should be enabled and locked. Hardware provides a way to
lock the mitigation, such that the mitigation cannot be disabled until the
CPU is reset. Currently, GDS mitigation is enabled without the lock.

Below is the recommendation from Intel:

  "Intel recommends that system software does not enable Key Locker (by
  setting CR4.KL) unless the GDS mitigation is enabled (IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL
  [GDS_MITG_DIS] (bit 4) is 0) and locked (IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL
  [GDS_MITG_LOCK](bit 5) is 1). This will prevent an adversary that takes
  control of the system from turning off the mitigation in order to infer
  the keys behind Key Locker handles." [1]

When GDS mitigation is enabled, and Keylocker feature is present, also lock
the mitigation.

This should ideally go before the patch that enables Keylocker. It is
only compile tested.
