Andrew Cooper a7e72872e9 x86/spec-ctrl: Knobs for STIBP and PSFD, and follow hardware STIBP hint
STIBP and PSFD are slightly weird bits, because they're both implied by other
bits in MSR_SPEC_CTRL.  Add fine grain controls for them, and take the
implications into account when setting IBRS/SSBD.

Rearrange the IBPB text/variables/logic to keep all the MSR_SPEC_CTRL bits
together, for consistency.

However, AMD have a hardware hint CPUID bit recommending that STIBP be set
unilaterally.  This is advertised on Zen3, so follow the recommendation.
Furthermore, in such cases, set STIBP behind the guest's back for now.
