x86/srso: Add IBPB_BRTYPE support
Upstream commit: 79113e4060aba744787a81edb9014f2865193854
Add support for the synthetic CPUID flag which "if this bit is 1,
it indicates that MSR 49h (PRED_CMD) bit 0 (IBPB) flushes all branch
type predictions from the CPU branch predictor."
This flag is there so that this capability in guests can be detected
easily (otherwise one would have to track microcode revisions which is
impossible for guests).
It is also needed only for Zen3 and -4. The other two (Zen1 and -2)
always flush branch type predictions by default.
