The nospec.h header expects the per-architecture header file
asm/barrier.h to optionally define array_index_mask_nospec(). Include
that dependency to prevent inadvertent fallback to the default
array_index_mask_nospec() implementation. The default implementation may
not provide a full mitigation on architectures that perform data value
speculation.
