4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicolai Stange nstange@suse.de
commit 427362a142441f08051369db6fbe7f61c73b3dca upstream
The vmx_l1d_flush_always static key is only ever evaluated if vmx_l1d_should_flush is enabled. In that case however, there are only two L1d flushing modes possible: "always" and "conditional".
The "conditional" mode's implementation tends to require more sophisticated logic than the "always" mode.
Avoid inverted logic by replacing the 'vmx_l1d_flush_always' static key with a 'vmx_l1d_flush_cond' one.
There is no change in functionality.
