4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk konrad.wilk@oracle.com
commit 1115a859f33276fe8afb31c60cf9d8e657872558 upstream
Intel and AMD SPEC_CTRL (0x48) MSR semantics may differ in the future (or in fact use different MSRs for the same functionality).
As such a run-time mechanism is required to whitelist the appropriate MSR values.
[ tglx: Made the variable __ro_after_init ]
