Subject: x86/bugs: Replace CONFIG_SPECTRE_BHI_{ON,OFF} with CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_BHI

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4f511739c54b549061993b53fc0380f48dfca23b upstream.

For consistency with the other CONFIG_MITIGATION_* options, replace the
CONFIG_SPECTRE_BHI_{ON,OFF} options with a single
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_BHI option.
