Subject: [PATCH 3.16 051/131] x86/cpufeatures: Show KAISER in cpuinfo

3.16.59-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

I noticed that in the upstream kernel PTI is exposed in /proc/cpuinfo
and in the 4.4 and 4.9 stable branches KAISER is exposed similarly,
but for some reason the backport to 3.16 hid it.  Change to match the
other branches.
