Version 3 of the speculative execution improvements for s390. Changes to v2: * Dropped the prctl to introduce the PR_ISOLATE_BP control and simply added two exported functions s390_isolate_bp and s390_isolate_bp_guest. There is currently no caller for these functions, for now an out-of-tree module can be used until an acceptable upstream solution for the user space interface is found. * Added an optimized version for the the array_index_mask_nospec function based on subtract with borrow for the spectre v1 defense. * Introduce "expoline", the s390 version of a retpoline. As s390 does not have a return instruction and the associate return stack we use an execute-type instruction on an indirect branch to get unpredicatable branches. This requires gcc support for -mindirect-branch=thunk / -mfunction-return=thunk. To be able to disable expolines there is another gcc option -mindirect-branch-table to keep a list of PC relative locations of calls to the execute thunks. With spectre_v2=off the call will be replaced with the original indirect branch and a nop.
