x86/amd: Use newer SSBD mechanisms if they exist

The opencoded legacy Memory Disambiguation logic in init_amd() neglected
Fam19h for the Zen3 microarchitecture.  Further more, all Zen2 based system
have the architectural MSR_SPEC_CTRL and the SSBD bit within it, so shouldn't
be using MSR_AMD64_LS_CFG.

Implement the algorithm given in AMD's SSBD whitepaper, and leave a
printk_once() behind in the case that no controls can be found.

This now means that a user explicitly choosing `spec-ctrl=ssbd` will properly
turn off Memory Disambiguation on Fam19h/Zen3 systems.

This still remains a single system-wide setting (for now), and is not context
switched between vCPUs.  As such, it doesn't interact with Intel's use of
MSR_SPEC_CTRL and default_xen_spec_ctrl (yet).
