Subject: [PATCH v5 12/12] x86/spectre: report get_user mitigation for
 spectre_v1

Reflect the presence of 'get_user', '__get_user', and 'syscall'
protections in sysfs. Keep the "Vulnerable" distinction given the
expectation that the places that have been identified for 'array_idx'
usage are likely incomplete.
