commit db886979683a8360ced9b24ab1125ad0c4d2cf76 upstream.

Clang warns:

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c:58:21: error: section attribute is specified on redeclared variable [-Werror,-Wsection]
  DEFINE_PER_CPU(u64, x86_spec_ctrl_current);
                      ^
  arch/x86/include/asm/nospec-branch.h:283:12: note: previous declaration is here
  extern u64 x86_spec_ctrl_current;
             ^
  1 error generated.

The declaration should be using DECLARE_PER_CPU instead so all
attributes stay in sync.
