  x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for SSB (2025-08-27 18:17:12 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Convert the SSB mitigation to the attack vector controls which got forgotten
  at the time

- Prevent the CPUID topology hierarchy detection on AMD from overwriting the
  correct initial APIC ID

- Fix the case of a machine shipping without microcode in the BIOS, in the AMD
  microcode loader

- Correct the Pentium 4 model range which has a constant TSC

----------------------------------------------------------------

      x86/microcode/AMD: Handle the case of no BIOS microcode
