x86/bugs: Do not enable IBPB-on-entry when IBPB is not supported

Browse Source 
commit 2259da159fbe5dba8ac00b560cf00b6a6537fa18 upstream.

There are some VM configurations which have Skylake model but do not
support IBPB. In those cases, when using retbleed=ibpb, userspace is going
to be killed and kernel is going to panic.

If the CPU does not support IBPB, warn and proceed with the auto option. Also,
do not fallback to IBPB on AMD/Hygon systems if it is not supported.
