From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> commit a5ce9f2bb665d1d2b31f139a02dbaa2dfbb62fa6 upstream. Merge the test whether the CPU supports STIBP into the test which determines whether STIBP is required. Thus try to simplify what is already an insane logic. Remove a superfluous newline in a comment, while at it.
