Subject: [PATCH v2] x86, AMD: Make cpu_has_amd_erratum() use the correct
 struct cpuinfo_x86

cpu_has_amd_erratum() is buggy, because it uses the per-cpu cpu_info
before it is filled by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info().

If early microcode loading is enabled its collect_cpu_info_amd_early() will
fill ->x86 and so the fallback to boot_cpu_data is not used.
But ->x86_vendor was not filled and is still 0 == X86_VENDOR_INTEL resulting in 
no errata fixes getting applied and my system hangs on boot.

Using cpu_info in cpu_has_amd_erratum() is wrong anyway: Its only caller
init_amd() will have a struct cpuinfo_x86 as parameter and the set_cpu_bug()
that is controlled by cpu_has_amd_erratum() also only uses that struct.

So pass the struct cpuinfo_x86 from init_amd() to cpu_has_amd_erratum() and
the broken fallback can be dropped.

I also added an WARN_ON() into the vendor check because init_amd() can only
be used by AMD CPUs and if the current failure hadn't been silent this bug
would have been much more obvious.

V2: At request of Borislav Petkov: BUG_ON -> WARN_ON and subject change
