Pull misc x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:

 - Follow up fixes for the BHI mitigations code

 - Fix !SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS bug not turning off mitigations as
   expected

 - Work around an APIC emulation bug when the kernel is built with Clang
   and run as a SEV guest

 - Follow up x86 topology fixes
