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
