Subject: [PATCH 3.16 040/131] x86/speculation: Rework speculative_store_bypass_update()

3.16.59-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 0270be3e34efb05a88bc4c422572ece038ef3608 upstream.

The upcoming support for the virtual SPEC_CTRL MSR on AMD needs to reuse
speculative_store_bypass_update() to avoid code duplication. Add an
argument for supplying a thread info (TIF) value and create a wrapper
speculative_store_bypass_update_current() which is used at the existing
call site.
