x86/srso: Fix srso_show_state() side effect
Reading the 'spec_rstack_overflow' sysfs file can trigger an unnecessary
MSR write, and possibly even a (handled) exception if the microcode
hasn't been updated.
Avoid all that by just checking X86_FEATURE_IBPB_BRTYPE instead, which
gets set by srso_select_mitigation() if the updated microcode exists.
Fixes: fb3bd91 ("x86/srso: Add a Speculative RAS Overflow mitigation")
