When spectre_v2_user={seccomp,prctl},ibpb, IBPB is force-enabled and
STIPB is conditionally-enabled (or not available). However, since
commit 21998a351512 ("x86/speculation: Avoid force-disabling IBPB based on
STIBP and enhanced IBRS.") the spectre_v2_user_ibpb variable is set to
SPECTRE_V2_USER_{PRCTL,SECCOMP} instead of SPECTRE_V2_USER_STRICT, which
is the actual behaviour. Because the issuing of IBPB relies on the
switch_mm_*_ibpb static branches, the mitigations behave as expected.

Since commit 1978b3a53a74 ("x86/speculation: Allow IBPB to be conditionally
enabled on CPUs with always-on STIBP") this discrepency caused the
misreporting of IB speculation via prctl().

On CPUs with STIBP always-on and spectre_v2_user=seccomp,ibpb,
prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) would return PR_SPEC_PRCTL |
PR_SPEC_ENABLE instead of PR_SPEC_DISABLE since both IBPB and STIPB are
always on. It also allowed prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) to set the IB
speculation mode, even though the flag is ignored.

Similarly for CPUs without SMT, prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) should
also return PR_SPEC_DISABLE since IBPB is always on and STIBP is not
available.

This is a follow up to my last patch (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201105163246.v2.1.Ifd7243cd3e2c2206a893ad0a5b9a4f19549e22c6@changeid/).
Unlike that one, this one does not change the behaviour or allow
enabling/disabling of IB speculation. Rather, it fixes the way the
prctl() responds. The last patch exposed an existing oversight in way
migitations were being tracked. Basically, the switch_mm_*_ibpb static
branches and the spectre_v2_user_ibpb variable were not consistent. This
patch tried to line those ducks in a row, as well as you can wrangle
ducks. Unfortunately, duck-wrangling is not one of my areas of
expertise.
