x86/spec: adjust logic that elides lfence

It's currently too restrictive by just checking whether there's a BHB clearing
sequence selected.  It should instead check whether BHB clearing is used on
entry from PV or HVM specifically.

Switch to use opt_bhb_entry_{pv,hvm} instead, and then remove cpu_has_bhb_seq
since it no longer has any users.
