Documentation/hw-vuln: Document the interaction between IBRS and STIBP


commit e02b50ca upstream.

Explain why STIBP is needed with legacy IBRS as currently implemented
(KERNEL_IBRS) and why STIBP is not needed when enhanced IBRS is enabled.

Fixes: 7c693f54 ("x86/speculation: Add spectre_v2=ibrs option to support Kernel IBRS")
