[PATCH] x86/speculation/srbds: do not try to turn mitigation off when not supported

From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
Date: Tue Jun 09 2020 - 13:43:38 EST


When SRBDS is mitigated by TSX OFF, update_srbds_msr will still read and
write to MSR_IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL even when that is not supported by the
microcode.

Checking for X86_FEATURE_SRBDS_CTRL as a CPU feature available makes more
sense than checking for SRBDS_MITIGATION_UCODE_NEEDED as the found
"mitigation".
