When changing rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() to schedule, it was missed that
__rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() was also used by rdmsrl_safe_on_cpu()

Make rdmsrl_safe_on_cpu() a wrapper instead of copy/pasting the code which
was added for the completion handling.

High latencies can be observed caused by a daemon periodically reading
various MSR on all cpus. On KASAN enabled kernels ~10ms latencies can be
observed simply reading one MSR. Even without KASAN, sending an IPI to a
CPU, which is in a deep sleep state or in a long hard IRQ disabled section,
waiting for the answer can consume hundreds of microseconds.

All usage sites are in preemptible context, convert rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() to
use a completion instead of busy polling.

Overall daemon cpu usage was reduced by 35 %, and latencies caused by
msr_read() disappeared.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another pile of melted spectrum related changes:

   - sanitize the array_index_nospec protection mechanism: Remove the
     overengineered array_index_nospec_mask_check() magic and allow
     const-qualified types as index to avoid temporary storage in a
     non-const local variable.

   - make the microcode loader more robust by properly propagating error
     codes. Provide information about new feature bits after micro code
     was updated so administrators can act upon.

   - optimizations of the entry ASM code which reduce code footprint and
     make the code simpler and faster.

   - fix the {pmd,pud}_{set,clear}_flags() implementations to work
     properly on paravirt kernels by removing the address translation
     operations.

   - revert the harmful vmexit_fill_RSB() optimization

   - use IBRS around firmware calls

   - teach objtool about retpolines and add annotations for indirect
     jumps and calls.

   - explicitly disable jumplabel patching in __init code and handle
     patching failures properly instead of silently ignoring them.

   - remove indirect paravirt calls for writing the speculation control
     MSR as these calls are obviously proving the same attack vector
     which is tried to be mitigated.

   - a few small fixes which address build issues with recent compiler
     and assembler versions"

This reverts commit 1dde7415e99933bb7293d6b2843752cbdb43ec11. By putting
the RSB filling out of line and calling it, we waste one RSB slot for
returning from the function itself, which means one fewer actual function
call we can make if we're doing the Skylake abomination of call-depth
counting.

It also changed the number of RSB stuffings we do on vmexit from 32,
which was correct, to 16. Let's just stop with the bikeshedding; it
didn't actually *fix* anything anyway.

Pull x86 PTI and Spectre related fixes and updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Here's the latest set of Spectre and PTI related fixes and updates:

  Spectre:
   - Add entry code register clearing to reduce the Spectre attack
     surface
   - Update the Spectre microcode blacklist
   - Inline the KVM Spectre helpers to get close to v4.14 performance
     again.
   - Fix indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
   - Fix/improve Spectre related kernel messages
   - Fix array_index_nospec_mask() asm constraint
   - KVM: fix two MSR handling bugs

  PTI:
   - Fix a paranoid entry PTI CR3 handling bug
   - Fix comments

  objtool:
   - Fix paranoid_entry() frame pointer warning
   - Annotate WARN()-related UD2 as reachable
   - Various fixes
   - Add Add Peter Zijlstra as objtool co-maintainer

x86_mask is a confusing name which is hard to associate with the
processor's stepping.

Additionally, correct an indent issue in lib/cpu.c.
