commit 1e988c3fe1264708f4f92109203ac5b1d65de50b upstream.

sqe->opcode is used for different tables, make sure we santitise it
against speculations.

The 5.10 backport itself looks fine, but I can't take it on its own:
1e988c3fe126 is still missing from 6.6.y and 6.12.y (it's present in
7.0, 6.18, 6.1 and 5.15), and we don't add a fix to an older tree while
a newer one is missing it. Once 6.6.y and 6.12.y carry it, I'll queue
the 5.10 backport.
