4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dan Williams <dan.j.willi...@intel.com> commit eb6174f6d1be16b19cfa43dac296bfed003ce1a6 upstream. The nospec.h header expects the per-architecture header file <asm/barrier.h> to optionally define array_index_mask_nospec(). Include that dependency to prevent inadvertent fallback to the default array_index_mask_nospec() implementation. The default implementation may not provide a full mitigation on architectures that perform data value speculation.
