Subject: [PATCH] x86/speculation: Update TIF_SPEC_IB before ibpb barrier

When a task is set for updating TIF_SPEC_IB throuth SECCOMP by others
and it's scheduled in the first time, a stale TIF_SPEC_IB value is
picked in cond_ibpb(). This is due to TIF_SPEC_IB is updated later at
__switch_to_xtra().

Add an extra call to speculation_ctrl_update_tif() to update it before
IBPB barrier.
