x86/speculation: PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE enforcement for indirect branches.
commit 4d8df8cbb9156b0a0ab3f802b80cb5db57acc0bf upstream. Currently, it is possible to enable indirect branch speculation even after it was force-disabled using the PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE option. Moreover, the PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL command gives afterwards an incorrect result (force-disabled when it is in fact enabled). This also is inconsistent vs. STIBP and the documention which cleary states that PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE cannot be undone. Fix this by actually enforcing force-disabled indirect branch speculation. PR_SPEC_ENABLE called after PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE now fails with -EPERM as described in the documentation.
