Subject: [PATCH 5.8 119/186] x86/entry: Fix AC assertion

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit 662a0221893a3d58aa72719671844264306f6e4b upstream.

The WARN added in commit 3c73b81a9164 ("x86/entry, selftests: Further
improve user entry sanity checks") unconditionally triggers on a IVB
machine because it does not support SMAP.

For !SMAP hardware the CLAC/STAC instructions are patched out and thus if
userspace sets AC, it is still have set after entry.
