Josh Poimboeuf 91857ae203 x86/srso: Set CPUID feature bits independently of bug or mitigation status ...

Booting with mitigations=off incorrectly prevents the
X86_FEATURE_{IBPB_BRTYPE,SBPB} CPUID bits from getting set.

Also, future CPUs without X86_BUG_SRSO might still have IBPB with branch
type prediction flushing, in which case SBPB should be used instead of
IBPB.  The current code doesn't allow for that.

Also, cpu_has_ibpb_brtype_microcode() has some surprising side effects
and the setting of these feature bits really doesn't belong in the
mitigation code anyway.  Move it to earlier.
