Similar to speculation store bypass, show information about the indirect branch speculation mode of a task in /proc/$pid/status. For testing/benchmarking, I needed to see whether IB (Indirect Branch) speculation (see Spectre-v2) is enabled on a task, to see whether an IBPB instruction should be executed on an address space switch. Unfortunately, this information isn't available anywhere else and currently the only way to get it is to hack the kernel to expose it (like this change). It also helped expose a bug with conditional IB speculation on certain CPUs. Another place this could be useful is to audit the system when using sanboxing. With this change, I can confirm that seccomp-enabled process have IB speculation force disabled as expected when the kernel command line parameter `spectre_v2_user=seccomp`. Since there's already a 'Speculation_Store_Bypass' field, I used that as precedent for adding this one.
