x86/speculation: Use synthetic bits for IBRS/IBPB/STIBP
commit e7c587da125291db39ddf1f49b18e5970adbac17 upstream
Intel and AMD have different CPUID bits hence for those use synthetic bits
which get set on the respective vendor's in init_speculation_control(). So
that debacles like what the commit message of
c65732e4f721 ("x86/cpu: Restore CPUID_8000_0008_EBX reload")
talks about don't happen anymore.
