4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com>
commit a538e3ff9dabcdf6c3f477a373c629213d1c3066 upstream.
Matthew pointed out that the ioctx_table is susceptible to spectre v1, because the index can be controlled by an attacker. The below patch should mitigate the attack for all of the aio system calls.
