x86/speculation: Simplify sysfs report of VMX L1TF vulnerability

Browse Source 
commit ea156d192f5257a5bf393d33910d3b481bf8a401 upstream

Three changes to the content of the sysfs file:

 - If EPT is disabled, L1TF cannot be exploited even across threads on the
   same core, and SMT is irrelevant.

 - If mitigation is completely disabled, and SMT is enabled, print "vulnerable"
   instead of "vulnerable, SMT vulnerable"

 - Reorder the two parts so that the main vulnerability state comes first
   and the detail on SMT is second.
