x86/spec-ctrl: Issue VERW during IST exit to Xen

There is a corner case where e.g. an NMI hitting an exit-to-guest path after
SPEC_CTRL_EXIT_TO_* would have run the entire NMI handler *after* the VERW
flush to scrub potentially sensitive data from uarch buffers.

In order to compensate, issue VERW when exiting to Xen from an IST entry.

SPEC_CTRL_EXIT_TO_XEN already has two reads of spec_ctrl_flags off the stack,
and we're about to add a third.  Load the field into %ebx, and list the
register as clobbered.

%r12 has been arranged to be the ist_exit signal, so add this as an input
dependency and use it to identify when to issue a VERW.
