array_index_nospec() uses a mask to sanitize user controllable array
indexes, i.e. generate a 0 mask if 'index' >= 'size', and a ~0 mask
otherwise. While the default array_index_mask_nospec() handles the
carry-bit from the (index - size) result in software. The x86
array_index_mask_nospec() does the same, but the carry-bit is handled in
the processor CF flag without conditional instructions in the control
flow.
