Subject: [PATCH v4.1 09/10] kvm, x86: update 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'. We can save an lfence in this path and
just use the common 'array_ptr' helper designed for these types of
fixes.
