x86, bpf, jit: prevent speculative execution when JIT is enabled
CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre v1 Intel) When constant blinding is enabled (bpf_jit_harden = 1), this adds an observable speculation barrier before emitting x86 jitted code for the BPF_ALU(64)_OR_X and BPF_ALU_LHS_X (for BPF_REG_AX register) eBPF instructions. This is needed in order to prevent speculative execution on out of bounds BPF_MAP array indexes when JIT is enabled. This way an arbitary kernel memory is not exposed through side-channel attacks.
