Subject: [PATCH 6/7] x86/svm: Set IBPB when running a different VCPU

From: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@....com>

Set IBPB (Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier) when the current CPU is
going to run a VCPU different from what was previously run.  Nested
virtualization uses the same VMCB for the second level guest, but the
L1 hypervisor should be using IBRS to protect itself.
