    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.
