Subject: [PATCH 5.15 49/78] x86/bugs: Split spectre_v2_select_mitigation() and spectre_v2_user_select_mitigation()

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

commit 166115c08a9b0b846b783088808a27d739be6e8d upstream.

retbleed will depend on spectre_v2, while spectre_v2_user depends on
retbleed. Break this cycle.
