The "force" argument to write_spec_ctrl_current() is currently ambiguous
as it does not guarantee the MSR write. This is due to the optimization
that writes to the MSR happen only when the new value differs from the
cached value.
This is fine in most cases, but breaks for S3 resume when the cached MSR
value gets out of sync with the hardware MSR value due to S3 resetting
it.
When x86_spec_ctrl_current is same as x86_spec_ctrl_base, the MSR write
is skipped. Which results in SPEC_CTRL mitigations not getting restored.
Move the MSR write from write_spec_ctrl_current() to a new function that
unconditionally writes to the MSR. Update the callers accordingly and
rename functions.
[ bp: Rework a bit. ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
