x86/speculation: Identify processors vulnerable to SMT RSB predictions

Certain AMD processors are vulnerable to a cross-thread return address
predictions bug. When running in SMT mode and one of the sibling threads
transitions out of C0 state, the other sibling thread could use return
target predictions from the sibling thread that transitioned out of C0.

The Spectre v2 mitigations cover the Linux kernel, as it fills the RSB
when context switching to the idle thread. However, KVM allows a VMM to
prevent exiting guest mode when transitioning out of C0. A guest could
act maliciously in this situation, so create a new x86 BUG that can be
used to detect if the processor is vulnerable.
