x86/bugs: Expose x86_spec_ctrl_base directly
commit fa8ac4988249c38476f6ad678a4848a736373403 upstream
x86_spec_ctrl_base is the system wide default value for the SPEC_CTRL MSR.
x86_spec_ctrl_get_default() returns x86_spec_ctrl_base and was intended to
prevent modification to that variable. Though the variable is read only
after init and globaly visible already.
Remove the function and export the variable instead.
