Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86/bugs: Updates to SSBD support on AMD

These patches update the SSBD support on AMD processors.

The following patches are included in this series:
- In addition to checking the family, the check for the LS_CFG_SSBD
  feature only needs to done if both the AMD_SSBD and VIRT_SSBD features
  are not present.
- Since AMD can support more than one SSBD mitigation method, the check
  for when to use the SPEC_CTRL MSR for SSBD support needs to be more
  specific.  Explicitly check for the features that use the SPEC_CTRL MSR.

This patch series is based on tip:master.
