[PATCH 0/2] x86/bugs: default spectre_v2_user_cmd depends on Kconfig

[Breno Leitao]

This series contains two patches that improve the handling of Spectre v2
user mitigations in the x86 architecture:

1. Make spectre_v2_user_cmd default depend on Kconfig
2. Simplify spectre_v2_user_select_mitigation() using cpu_smt_possible()

The first patch was originally part of a larger patchset [1] but was
removed in version 3 [2] to simplify the revision process. Now that the
original patchset has been merged, I am resubmitting this patch
separately.

This patch aligns the default configuration of spectre_v2_user_cmd with
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2, consistent with other user-selectable
mitigations.

The other patch is a simple optimization that leverages the
cpu_smt_possible() helper function to simplify the code in
spectre_v2_user_select_mitigation().

Together, these changes improve code consistency and simplify the
configuration and selection of Spectre v2 user mitigations.
