Thanks for the review and suggestions, Will!

This v2 series addresses your comments:
- Fixed the message to use "command-line" consistently
- Created spectre_print_disabled_mitigations() function to handle all spectre mitigation messages
- Added a separate patch to remove the CONFIG_MITIGATE_SPECTRE_BHB option

The series includes two patches:

Patch 1: "fix hard lockup triggered by printk calls within scheduling context"
- Moves printk calls from scheduler context to setup_system_capabilities()
- Prevents hard lockups by avoiding printk in unsafe contexts
- Consolidates spectre mitigation status reporting

Patch 2: "Remove the print when the CONFIG_MITIGATE_SPECTRE_BRANCH_HISTORY Kconfig option is disabled"
- Removes the obsolete CONFIG_MITIGATE_SPECTRE_BHB Kconfig option
- Cleans up the spectre mitigation code as suggested
