x86/cpufeature: Detect CPUID faulting support
Intel supports faulting on the CPUID instruction beginning with Ivy Bridge.
When enabled, the processor will fault on attempts to execute the CPUID
instruction with CPL>0. This will allow a ptracer to emulate the CPUID
instruction.
Bit 31 of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO advertises support for this feature. It is
documented in detail in Section 2.3.2 of
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=243991
Detect support for this feature and expose it as X86_FEATURE_CPUID_FAULT.
