x86/bugs: Remove the X86_FEATURE_USE_IBPB check in ib_prctl_set()

If X86_FEATURE_USE_IBPB is not set, then both spectre_v2_user_ibpb and
spectre_v2_user_stibp are set to SPECTRE_V2_USER_NONE in
spectre_v2_user_select_mitigation(). Since ib_prctl_set() already checks
for this before performing the IBPB, the X86_FEATURE_USE_IBPB check is
redundant. Remove it.
