x86/idle: Clear SPEC_CTRL while idle
On contemporary hardware, setting IBRS/STIBP has a performance impact on
adjacent hyperthreads. It is therefore recommended to clear the setting
before becoming idle, to avoid an idle core preventing adjacent userspace
execution from running at full performance.
Care must be taken to ensure there are no ret or indirect branch instructions
between spec_ctrl_{enter,exit}_idle() invocations, which are forced always
inline. Care must also be taken to avoid using spec_ctrl_enter_idle() between
flushing caches and becoming idle, in cases where that matters.
