Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode/intel: Ensure new microcode processor flags
 match with cpu's pf

Intel spec says: 'The processor flags in the 48-byte header and the
processor flags field associated with the extended processor signature
structures may have multiple bits set.'

Make sure processor flags of the new microcode intersect with current
cpu's. Comparing with old microcode's pf can't guarantee this.
