[MODERATED] [PATCH RFC 2/4] 2

From: Josh Poimboeuf <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/4] x86/speculation: Move arch_smt_update() call to after
 mitigation decisions

arch_smt_update() now has a dependency on both Spectre v2 and MDS
mitigations.  Move its initial call to after all the mitigation
decisions have been made.
