3.16.68-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7c3658b20194a5b3209a143f63bc9c643c6a3ae2 upstream.

arch_smt_update() now has a dependency on both Spectre v2 and MDS
mitigations.  Move its initial call to after all the mitigation decisions
have been made.
