x86/bugs: Fix BHI handling of RRSBA
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 1cea8a2 upstream.

The ARCH_CAP_RRSBA check isn't correct: RRSBA may have already been
disabled by the Spectre v2 mitigation (or can otherwise be disabled by
the BHI mitigation itself if needed).  In that case retpolines are fine.
