The calls to xpti_init_default() in parse_xpti() are buggy.  The CPUID data
hasn't been fetched that early, and boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_ARCH_CAPS) will
always evaluate false.

As a result, the default case won't disable XPTI on Intel hardware which
advertises ARCH_CAPABILITIES_RDCL_NO.

Simplify parse_xpti() to solely the setting of opt_xpti according to the
passed string, and have init_speculation_mitigations() call
xpti_init_default() if appropiate.  Drop the force parameter, and pass caps
instead, to avoid redundant re-reading of MSR_ARCH_CAPS.
