Unused macro?  Now that the test doesn't try to change the SSBS state
via MSR, I don't think anything else is using this.

Hmmm, now I'm wondering about how things like
prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) are supposed to interact with other ways
of manipulating PSTATE.SSBS.  Before we've answered this, we don't know
what result to expect from this test in various configurations...

To avoid this series depending on answering that question immediately,
can we drop this test from the series for now?

To reduce rework effort, maybe keep this patch in its current position
in the series, with just the utility code, but drop the testcase.

Sorry for the churn -- I didn't think of this issue earlier :(
