[PATCH 3/6] powerpc/64s: Patch barrier_nospec in modules

From: Michal Suchanek <msuchanek at suse.de>

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.
