x86/spec-ctrl: Mitigate TAA after S3 resume
The user chosen setting for MSR_TSX_CTRL needs restoring after S3.
All APs get the correct setting via start_secondary(), but the BSP was missed
out.
This is XSA-377 / CVE-2021-28690.
Fixes: 8c4330818f6 ("x86/spec-ctrl: Mitigate the TSX Asynchronous Abort sidechannel")
