x86/bugs: Warn when "ibrs" mitigation is selected on Enhanced IBRS parts
IBRS mitigation for spectre_v2 forces write to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL at
every kernel entry/exit. On Enhanced IBRS parts setting
MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL[IBRS] only once at boot is sufficient. MSR writes at
every kernel entry/exit incur unnecessary performance loss.
When Enhanced IBRS feature is present, print a warning about this
unnecessary performance loss.
