x86/cpu: Disable BHI mitigation by default when SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n
Rework the initialization of bhi_mitigation to use positive CONFIG tests
for the ON/AUTO cases so that lack of *any* CONFIG_SPECTRE_BHI_* #define,
i.e. when the kernel is built with CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n,
results in the mitigation being OFF by default, not AUTO.
Per the help text for SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS, the intent is that 'N'
disables all mitigations.
