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

From: Michal Suchanek msuchanek@suse.de
commit cb3d6759a93c6d0aea1c10deb6d00e111c29c19c upstream.
Check what firmware told us and enable/disable the barrier_nospec as appropriate.
We err on the side of enabling the barrier, as it's no-op on older systems, see the comment for more detail.
