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.
