x86/srso: Fix vulnerability reporting for missing microcode
The SRSO default safe-ret mitigation is reported as "mitigated" even if microcode hasn't been updated. That's wrong because userspace may still be vulnerable to SRSO attacks due to IBPB not flushing branch type predictions. Report the safe-ret + !microcode case as vulnerable. Also report the microcode-only case as vulnerable as it leaves the kernel open to attacks.
