    x86: correct default_xen_spec_ctrl calculation
    
    Even with opt_msr_sc_{pv,hvm} both false we should set up the variable
    as usual, to ensure proper one-time setup during boot and CPU bringup.
    This then also brings the code in line with the comment immediately
    ahead of the printk() being modified saying "irrespective of guests".
