x86/speculation: Do not enable Automatic IBRS if SEV-SNP is enabled
Without SEV-SNP, Automatic IBRS protects only the kernel. But when
SEV-SNP is enabled, the Automatic IBRS protection umbrella widens to all
host-side code, including userspace. This protection comes at a cost:
reduced userspace indirect branch performance.
To avoid this performance loss, don't use Automatic IBRS on SEV-SNP
hosts and all back to retpolines instead.
