4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicolai Stange <nstange@xxxxxxx> commit 379fd0c7e6a391e5565336a646f19f218fb98c6c upstream vmx_l1d_flush() gets invoked only if l1tf_flush_l1d is true. There's no point in setting l1tf_flush_l1d to true from there again.
