x86/bugs: Restructure BHI mitigation

Restructure BHI mitigation to use select/update/apply functions to create
consistent vulnerability handling.  BHI mitigation was previously selected
from within spectre_v2_select_mitigation() and now is selected from
cpu_select_mitigation() like with all others.

Define new AUTO mitigation for BHI.
