Subject: [PATCH] migration: warn about inconsistent spec_ctrl state

As an attempt to help the user do the right thing, warn if we
detect spec_ctrl data in the migration stream, but where the
cpu defined doesn't have the feature. This would indicate the
migration is from the quick and dirty qemu produced in January
2018 to handle Spectre v2. That qemu version exposed the IBRS
cpu feature to all vcpu types, which helped in the short term
but wasn't a well designed approach.
Warn the user that the now migrated guest needs to be restarted
as soon as possible, using the spec_ctrl cpu feature flag or a
*-IBRS vcpu model specified as appropriate.
