When SRBDS is mitigated by TSX OFF, update_srbds_msr() will still read
and write to MSR_IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL even when that MSR is not supported
due to not having loaded the appropriate microcode.

Check for X86_FEATURE_SRBDS_CTRL which is set only when the respective
microcode which adds MSR_IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL is loaded.

Based on a patch by Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@canonical.com>.
