Subject: [PATCH 0/1] x86: deduplicate the spectre_v2_user documentation

Hello,

Could you help checking if this incremental doc cleanup is possible?

After the previous patch is applied, there's still a leftover mention
of seccomp that should be removed in a duped bit of documentation, so
I tentatively referred the original documentation already updated in
sync, instead of keeping the dup around and applying the same update
to the dup.

Note: as far as I can tell spec_store_bypass_disable= documentation is
not duplicated in spectre.rst, that's better in my view. The more dups
we have the more one goes out of sync..
