Add a new __update_spec_ctrl() helper which is a variant of
update_spec_ctrl() that can be used in a noinstr function.

Should we also use this to implement update_spec_ctrl() ?

I also thought about that. However, I am a bit worry about losing some 
additional check done in this_cpu_write() and the paravirt support in 
wrmsrl(). I have no problem making update_spec_ctrl() an instrument-able 
wrapper on __update_spec_ctrl() if you think these are not valid concerns.

Cheers,
Longman
