x86/bugs: Enable STIBP for IBPB mitigated RETBleed

AMD's "Technical Guidance for Mitigating Branch Type Confusion,
Rev. 1.0 2022-07-12" whitepaper, under section 6.1.2 "IBPB On
Privileged Mode Entry / SMT Safety" says:

  Similar to the Jmp2Ret mitigation, if the code on the sibling thread
  cannot be trusted, software should set STIBP to 1 or disable SMT to
  ensure SMT safety when using this mitigation.

So, like already being done for retbleed=unret, and now also for
retbleed=ibpb, force STIBP on machines that have it, and report its SMT
vulnerability status accordingly.

 [ bp: Remove the "we" and remove "[AMD]" applicability parameter which
   doesn't work here. ]
