prctl: cfi: change the branch landing pad prctl()s to be more descriptive

2026-04-05T00:40:58Z

Per Linus' comments requesting the replacement of "INDIR_BR_LP" in the indirect branch tracking prctl()s with something more readable, and suggesting the use of the speculation control prctl()s as an exemplar, reimplement the prctl()s and related constants that control per-task forward-edge control flow integrity. This primarily involves two changes. First, the prctls are restructured to resemble the style of the speculative execution workaround control prctls PR_{GET,SET}_SPECULATION_CTRL, to make them easier to extend in the future. Second, the "indir_br_lp" abbrevation is expanded to "branch_landing_pads" to be less telegraphic. The kselftest and documentation is adjusted accordingly.
