UBUNTU: SAUCE: x86/speculation: Expose indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791080 Expose indirect_branch_prediction_barrier() for use in subsequent patches. Our approach for IBRS/IBPB is still based on the Intel v4 patchset and I did not want to completely switch that in this upstream stable set. For that reason I skipped most changes from "x86/speculation: Add basic IBPB (Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier) support" from the 4.4.144 update. Only indirect_branch_prediction_barrier() I picked up because it will later be used for an update to "x86/speculation: Use Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier in context switch".
