Subject: [PATCH 3.16 242/305] kvm: svm: Ensure an IBPB on all affected
 CPUs when freeing a vmcb

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

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

From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@...gle.com>

commit fd65d3142f734bc4376053c8d75670041903134d upstream.

Previously, we only called indirect_branch_prediction_barrier on the
logical CPU that freed a vmcb. This function should be called on all
logical CPUs that last loaded the vmcb in question.

Fixes: 15d45071523d ("KVM/x86: Add IBPB support")
