x86/srso: Don't probe microcode in a guest
To support live migration, the hypervisor sets the "lowest common
denominator" of features. Probing the microcode isn't allowed because
any detected features might go away after a migration.
As Andy Cooper states:
"Linux must not probe microcode when virtualised. What it may see
instantaneously on boot (owing to MSR_PRED_CMD being fully passed
through) is not accurate for the lifetime of the VM."
Rely on the hypervisor to set the needed IBPB_BRTYPE and SBPB bits.
