x86/bugs: Whitelist allowed SPEC_CTRL MSR values

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 ]
