kvm: x86: SRSO_USER_KERNEL_NO is not synthesized
SYNTHESIZED_F() generally is used together with setup_force_cpu_cap(),
i.e. when it makes sense to present the feature even if cpuid does not
have it *and* the VM is not able to see the difference. For example,
it can be used when mitigations on the host automatically protect
the guest as well.
The "SYNTHESIZED_F(SRSO_USER_KERNEL_NO)" line came in as a conflict
resolution between the CPUID overhaul from the KVM tree and support
for the feature in the x86 tree. Using it right now does not hurt,
or make a difference for that matter, because there is no
setup_force_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_SRSO_USER_KERNEL_NO). However, it
is a little less future proof in case such a setup_force_cpu_cap()
appears later, for a case where the kernel somehow is not vulnerable
but the guest would have to apply the mitigation.
