    x86/spec-ctrl: Don't use spec_ctrl_{enter,exit}_idle() for S3
    
    'idle' here refers to hlt/mwait.  The S3 path isn't an idle path - it is a
    platform reset.
    
    We need to load default_xen_spec_ctrl unilaterally on the way back up.
    Currently it happens as a side effect of X86_FEATURE_SC_MSR_IDLE or the next
    return-to-guest, but that's fragile behaviour.
    
    Conversely, there is no need to clear IBRS and flush the store buffers on 
the
    way down; we're microseconds away from cutting power.
