x86/bugs: Fix handling when SRSO mitigation is disabled

When the SRSO mitigation is disabled, either via mitigations=off or
spec_rstack_overflow=off, the warning about the lack of IBPB-enhancing
microcode is printed anyway.

This is unnecessary since the user has turned off the mitigation.

[ bp: Massage, drop SBPB rationale as it doesn't matter because when
mitigations are disabled x86_pred_cmd is not being used anyway. ]
