Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] x86, cpuid: allow cpuid_read() to schedule

I noticed high latencies caused by a daemon periodically reading various
MSR and cpuid on all cpus. KASAN kernels would see ~10ms latencies
simply reading one cpuid. Even without KASAN, sending IPI to CPU
in deep sleep state or blocking hard IRQ in a a long section,
then waiting for the answer can consume hundreds of usec or more.

Switching to smp_call_function_single_async() and a completion
allows to reschedule and not burn cpu cycles.
