x86/bugs: Use SBPB in write_ibpb() if applicable

[ Upstream commit fc9fd3f98423367c79e0bd85a9515df26dc1b3cc ]

write_ibpb() does IBPB, which (among other things) flushes branch type
predictions on AMD.  If the CPU has SRSO_NO, or if the SRSO mitigation
has been disabled, branch type flushing isn't needed, in which case the
lighter-weight SBPB can be used.

The 'x86_pred_cmd' variable already keeps track of whether IBPB or SBPB
should be used.  Use that instead of hardcoding IBPB.
