x86/cpuid: Allow cpuid_read() to schedule

High latencies can be observed caused by a daemon periodically reading
CPUID on all cpus. On KASAN enabled kernels ~10ms latencies can be
observed. Even without KASAN, sending an IPI to a CPU, which is in a deep
sleep state or in a long hard IRQ disabled section, waiting for the answer
can consume hundreds of microseconds.

cpuid_read() is invoked in preemptible context, so it can be converted to
sleep instead of busy wait.

Switching to smp_call_function_single_async() and a completion allows to
reschedule and reduces CPU usage and latencies.
