Note that unlike RFI which is patched only in kernel the nospec state
reflects settings at the time the module was loaded.

Iterating all modules and re-patching every time the settings change
is not implemented.

Based on lwsync patching.

This saves a global but always patches modules with the ORI
flush. The patching also produces a log message which can be confusing
to the user. Even when barrier is disabled "barrier-nospec: using ORI
speculation barrier" is logged when modules are loaded.

For consistency when debugging the settings I would suggest to keep the
export.

It is also no longer consistent with the commit message.

Thanks

Michal
