Subject: [PATCH 5.18 45/70] x86/speculation: Remove x86_spec_ctrl_mask
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...nel.org>
commit acac5e98ef8d638a411cfa2ee676c87e1973f126 upstream.
This mask has been made redundant by kvm_spec_ctrl_test_value(). And it
doesn't even work when MSR interception is disabled, as the guest can
just write to SPEC_CTRL directly.
