Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] x86/idle: Disable IBRS when cpu is offline
Commit bf5835bcdb96 ("intel_idle: Disable IBRS during long idle")
disables IBRS when the CPU enters long idle. However, when a CPU becomes
offline, the IBRS bit is still set when X86_FEATURE_KERNEL_IBRS is
enabled. That will impact the performance of a sibling CPU. Mitigate
this performance impact by clearing all the mitigation bits in SPEC_CTRL
MSR when offline and restoring the value of the MSR when it becomes
online again.
