Subject: [PATCH 4.4 036/107] x86/xen: Zero MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL before suspend

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

commit 71c208dd54ab971036d83ff6d9837bae4976e623 upstream.

Older Xen versions (4.5 and before) might have problems migrating pv
guests with MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL having a non-zero value. So before
suspending zero that MSR and restore it after being resumed.
