Subject[PATCH 4.4 022/101] x86/speculation: Change misspelled STIPB to STIBP
Date
From: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit aa77bfb354c495fc4361199e63fc5765b9e1e783 ]

STIBP stands for Single Thread Indirect Branch Predictors. The acronym,
however, can be easily mis-spelled as STIPB. It is perhaps due to the
presence of another related term - IBPB (Indirect Branch Predictor
Barrier).

Fix the mis-spelling in the code.
