When a task changes its dumpability, arch_update_spec_ctrl_restriction() is called to place restriction on the task's speculative execution according to dumpability changes. Implements arch_update_spec_restriction() for x86. Use STIBP to restrict speculative execution when running a task set to non-dumpable, or clear the restriction if the task is set to dumpable.
