Subject: [PATCH] x86/srso: Disable the mitigation on unaffected configurations

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@...en8.de>

Skip the srso cmd line parsing which is not needed on Zen1/2 with SMT
disabled and with the proper microcode applied (latter should be the
case anyway) as those are not affected.

Fixes: 5a15d8348881 ("x86/srso: Tie SBPB bit setting to microcode patch detection")
