[ Upstream commitdc6306ad5b] 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
