x86/srso: Set CPUID feature bits independently of bug or mitigation status
[ Upstream commit 91857ae20303cc98ed36720d9868fcd604a2ee75 ]
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.
