[SRU][Cosmic][PATCH 1/4] kvm: svm: Ensure an IBPB on all affected CPUs when freeing a vmcb

From: Jim Mattson <jmattson at google.com>

Previously, we only called indirect_branch_prediction_barrier on the
logical CPU that freed a vmcb. This function should be called on all
logical CPUs that last loaded the vmcb in question.
