x86/bugs: Use early_param() for spectre_v2

Most of the mitigations in bugs.c use early_param() for command line parsing.
Rework the spectre_v2 and nospectre_v2 command line options to be
consistent with the others.

Remove spec_v2_print_cond() as informing the user of the their cmdline
choice isn't interesting.

  [ bp: Zap spectre_v2_check_cmd(). ]
