The nice thing about doing this in cpufeature_probe_zicbom is that
you keep all the "ifs" in one place, where now you have 2 places that
check the existence of the extension.

The overhead is one "x = true" setting on each call to _probe() and with
this change things are now also handled differently between the main
implementation and the deviants.

Though I guess, I'll let others do the judgement call on what is the
desired way to go ;-) .
