4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jiri Kosina jkosina@suse.cz
commit 8e1b706b6e819bed215c0db16345568864660393 upstream
The L1TF mitigation will gain a commend line parameter which allows to set a combination of hypervisor mitigation and SMT control.
Expose cpu_smt_disable() so the command line parser can tweak SMT settings.
[ tglx: Split out of larger patch and made it preserve an already existing force off state ]
