I'd like to dispute this as this isn't a CVE but a mere performance
optimization in case spec_rstack_overflow is disabled. Without this
patch in case spec_rstack_overflow is disabled the kernel will simply
use the heavier ibpb but that won't have effect on correctness.

You are right, our fault. I'll go reject this CVE now, thanks for the
review!
