The Spectre V2 printout in cpu_show_common() handles conditionals for the
various mitigation methods directly in the sprintf() argument list. That's
hard to read and will become unreadable if more complex decisions need to
be made for a particular method.
Move the conditionals for STIBP and IBPB string selection into helper
functions, so they can be extended later on.
