Subject: [PATCH v4 09/10] kvm, x86: fix spectre-v1 mitigation

Commit 75f139aaf896 "KVM: x86: Add memory barrier on vmcs field lookup"
added a raw 'asm("lfence");' to prevent a bounds check bypass of
'vmcs_field_to_offset_table'. This does not work for some AMD cpus, see
the 'ifence' helper, and it otherwise does not use the common
'array_ptr' helper designed for these types of fixes. Convert this to
use 'array_ptr'.
