In later code, STIBP will be turned on/off in the context switch code path when SMT is enabled. Checks for SMT is best avoided on such hot paths. Create cpu_smt_enabled static key to turn on such SMT specific code statically. The key is enabled by default and its scope has nothing to do with CPU hotplug. It depends on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT which is the extra SMT control code which is currently only enabled on x86.
