Commit18ec54fdd6("x86/speculation: Prepare entry code for Spectre v1 swapgs mitigations") added FENCE_SWAPGS_{KERNEL|USER}_ENTRY for conditional SWAPGS. In paranoid_entry(), it uses only FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL_ENTRY for both branches. This is because the fence is required for both cases since the CR3 write is conditional even when PTI is enabled. But96b2371413("x86/entry/64: Switch CR3 before SWAPGS in paranoid entry") changed the order of SWAPGS and the CR3 write. And it missed the needed FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL_ENTRY for the user gsbase case. Add it back by changing the branches so that FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL_ENTRY can cover both branches.

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.
