Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:
"There's a little bit more 'movement' in there for my taste but it
needs to happen and should make the code better after it.
- Check cmdline_find_option()'s return value before further
processing
- Clear temporary storage in the resctrl code to prevent access to an
unexistent MSR
- Add a simple throttling mechanism to protect the hypervisor from
potentially malicious SEV guests issuing requests in rapid
succession.
In order to not jeopardize the sanity of everyone involved in
maintaining this code, the request issuing side has received a
cleanup, split in more or less trivial, small and digestible
pieces. Otherwise, the code was threatening to become an
unmaintainable mess.
Therefore, that cleanup is marked indirectly also for stable so
that there's no differences between the upstream code and the
stable variant when it comes down to backporting more there"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
