x86/cpu: Actually turn off mitigations by default for SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n
commit f337a6a21e2fd67eadea471e93d05dd37baaa9be upstream.
Initialize cpu_mitigations to CPU_MITIGATIONS_OFF if the kernel is built
with CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n, as the help text quite clearly
states that disabling SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is supposed to turn off all
mitigations by default.
│ If you say N, all mitigations will be disabled. You really
│ should know what you are doing to say so.
As is, the kernel still defaults to CPU_MITIGATIONS_AUTO, which results in
some mitigations being enabled in spite of SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n.
