Josh Poimboeuf d737d8cd8e x86/bugs: Clarify that syscall hardening isn't a BHI mitigation 
commit 5f882f3b0a8bf0788d5a0ee44b1191de5319bb8a upstream.

While syscall hardening helps prevent some BHI attacks, there's still
other low-hanging fruit remaining.  Don't classify it as a mitigation
and make it clear that the system may still be vulnerable if it doesn't
have a HW or SW mitigation enabled.

Fixes: ec9404e40e8f ("x86/bhi: Add BHI mitigation knob")
