Subject[PATCH 3.16 34/86] x86/speculation: Update the TIF_SSBD comment
3.16.68-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>

commit 8eb729b77faf83ac4c1f363a9ad68d042415f24c upstream.

"Reduced Data Speculation" is an obsolete term. The correct new name is
"Speculative store bypass disable" - which is abbreviated into SSBD.
