x86/cpufeatures: Disentangle MSR_SPEC_CTRL enumeration from IBRS
The availability of the SPEC_CTRL MSR is enumerated by a CPUID bit on Intel and implied by IBRS or STIBP support on AMD. That's just confusing and in case an AMD CPU has IBRS not supported because the underlying problem has been fixed but has another bit valid in the SPEC_CTRL MSR, the thing falls apart. Add a synthetic feature bit X86_FEATURE_MSR_SPEC_CTRL to denote the availability on both Intel and AMD. While at it replace the boot_cpu_has() checks with static_cpu_has() where possible. This prevents late microcode loading from exposing SPEC_CTRL, but late loading is already very limited as it does not reevaluate the mitigation options and other bits and pieces. Having static_cpu_has() is the simplest and least fragile solution.
