x86/srso: Remove redundant X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB check

The X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB check is redundant here due to the above
RETBLEED_MITIGATION_IBPB check.  RETBLEED_MITIGATION_IBPB already
implies X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB.  So if we got here and 'has_microcode'
is true, it means X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB is not set.
