Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpufeature: fix __percpu annotation in this_cpu_has()

&cpu_info.x86_capability is __percpu, and the second argument of
x86_this_cpu_test_bit() is expected to be __percpu. Don't cast the __percpu
away and then implicitly add it again.
This gets rid of 106 lines of sparse warnings with the kernel config I'm
using.
