[v6,09/13] x86: sanitize syscall table de-references under speculation

The syscall table base is a user controlled function pointer in kernel
space. Use array_index_nospec() to prevent any out of bounds
speculation. While retpoline prevents speculating into a userspace
directed target it does not stop the pointer de-reference, the concern
is leaking memory relative to the syscall table base, by observing
instruction cache behavior.
