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