x86: deduplicate the spectre_v2_user documentation

This would need updating to make prctl be the new default, but it's
simpler to delete it and refer to the dup.

Not specifying this option is equivalent to

Unconditionally disable mitigations. Is

prctl
Indirect branch speculation is enabled,
but mitigation can be enabled via prctl
per thread. The mitigation control state
is inherited on fork.
prctl,ibpb
Like "prctl" above, but only STIBP is
controlled per thread. IBPB is issued
always when switching between different user
space processes.
seccomp
Same as "prctl" above, but all seccomp
threads will enable the mitigation unless
they explicitly opt out.
seccomp,ibpb
Like "seccomp" above, but only STIBP is
controlled per thread. IBPB is issued

user space processes.
auto
Kernel selects the mitigation depending on
the available CPU features and vulnerability.
Default mitigation:
If CONFIG_SECCOMP=y then "seccomp", otherwise "prctl"
Not specifying this option is equivalent to
spectre_v2_user=auto.
In general the kernel by default selects
reasonable mitigations for the current CPU. To
disable Spectre variant 2 mitigations, boot with
spectre_v2=off. Spectre variant 1 mitigations
cannot be disabled.
For spectre_v2_user see :doc:`/admin-guide/kernel-parameters`.
